“Gratitude is not denial; it refuses to let difficulty become the only truth you can see.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Paul says to give thanks in everything, not to pretend that everything is good. Waiting until circumstances improve can turn thankfulness into a reaction, while Scripture invites us to make it a practice.
Gratitude may not change the circumstance immediately, but it changes what the circumstance is allowed to hide from you. Grace can still be recognised in strength, support, provision and a small answer to prayer.
