The Gratitude I’d Hold Onto In Any Moment

Such a privilege to actually have the chance to say what I'm grateful about at a gunpoint, I think that in itself is rare and anytime I think rarity, I think God at work. In living my life, I always trust that there is a mighty being doing a perfect work even in the messed up situations I am faced with.

One thing I don't think I've done enough of in all my life is being grateful to the one who have everything concerning my life possible. The times I fell sick, faced failures, struggled with a situation, there was one who always helped me out and He has never left me to be all by myself.

For a while now, I've been building the habit of writing at least one thing I am most grateful for everyday. I make use of a physical journal, a digital journal and in my prayers to God. While there are many things I've showed gratitude for, there are many more I don't think I've shown it for.

And there is one major thing I just realized that I've been skipping in all my gratitude and that is the one thing I would be grateful for at a gunpoint. I've learned that gratitude is like an application for more things to be grateful for and it has worked like that countless times for me.

The prompt is asking for just one thing that I would be grateful for regardless of how the rest of my life will turn out... I would be grateful for "My relationship with God". Even though I can't boast that all the love in my heart is to God, I can boast that God has a perfect love for my being.

I have realize that I am not grateful enough for that fact and I pictured the gunpoint moment, my recent experiences and how God has been dealing with my life all along till this point, I couldn't just shake off the fact that it is something to be grateful for, God's love for me.

Even though I don't know how my life will turn out the next minute, I have the creator of my being looking out for me because His love is not dependent on how much I love Him but how grateful I would always be when He does His perfect work on me. So yeah, I'd be grateful for it.

Saying this now is a reminder for me to even do better in growing my relationship with God so I can be happier when I say what I am most grateful for. In that gratitude, my life, family, friends and all successes are in it because God made all that possible so I can trust Him more.
