THANK GOD FOR OTHERS

When we focus on the things we are grateful for, we can better influence others. Negativity and ungratefulness does not help others see Jesus in us. We should also focus on the people in our lives and look at their positive attributes. We need to write down the things we are thankful for in the people around us. We need to see our relationships with them as positive ones. We need to list their good qualities and thank God for them. We need to let them know we appreciate them and are glad they are in our lives. God puts people in our lives for a reason. We should pray for these people, thank God for them and ask Him how we can best influence them.

1 Timothy 2:1 "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them." (NLT)

Dear Lord, help us to stay away from negative thinking. Help us, instead, to look positively at the people in our lives and write down the good qualities they have. We want to be a positive influence on them by encouraging them and thanking them for who they are and what they do. We know when we show others how much we care, we can be a better role model for them. We want to show them Your love. Help us today, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Being grateful for the people in our lives means we have to stop being negative and start focusing on their positive traits.

It is human to want to focus on the negative aspects of a person. It is godly to want to focus on the good in others.

We should look at our relationships with others as positive ones and be grateful for each person God has put in our lives.

God puts people in our lives for a reason. We should thank Him for these people and ask Him how we can best influence them.

If we want to influence others, we need to let them know how thankful we are for them to be in our lives.

Philippians 1:3 "Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God." (NLT)

Focus: Seeing others as God sees them will help us show them love, have better relationships and be truly grateful for them.
