Gratitude
At this current moment, the number of things for which I am thankful seems abundant. However, I hope the amount by which I am thankful will never change. It seems to me that only one thing should suffice for all of my gratitude.

Counting the Cost
Luke 15:25-35
When I am trying to purchase an item that I cannot afford, the cost that lingers in my mind isn't the money I do have which is not enough; the cost that matters is the amount by which I am lacking. However, when it comes to salvation, I often find myself close-fisted, clenching my precious scraps. Perhaps now is the time to shift my gaze to the incalculable cost that has already been paid on my behalf, and count my costs for what they are - rubbish.
