Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV): “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 

We Should Have What The Old Time Preachers Used To Say, “An Attitude of Gratitude.”

Attitude = a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior.

Gratitude = the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

Sometimes We Have To Put on That Garment of Praise, Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV): “To [a] console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”  The Garment Has Purpose: It Covers the Spirit of Heaviness. If you’re feeling that spirit of heaviness, it’s time to praise!

What you are wearing tells people a lot about who you are and what you are doing

Colossians 3:12-15 (NKJV): “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

“But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.”

Tender Mercies, Psalm 25:6 (NKJV): “Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old.”  Raham = Compassion

Kindness: Receives A Supernatural Key Which Unlocks Supernatural Favor With People 

Humility, 1 Peter 5:6 (NASB 1995): “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time…” Humility Brings Supernatural Elevation, Combats Pride

Meekness Is Not Weakness But Strength Under Control 

Longsuffering, Patience, Brings Understanding, Proverbs 14:29 (NIV): “Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.”

Love, Colossians 3:14 (NKJV): “But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.”

Love = Agape = Unconditional Love
