SPONTANEOUS GRATITUDE TO GOD
in Every Situation Stimulates Spiritual Growth *
by Maurice E. Wagner, Th.M., Ph.D.

___When we are born again, we may be adults, but we are spiritually just babies. We need the milk of the word, the easy to understand teachings of the Bible, to grow spiritually. Later, when we become more informed, we can try to understand the more complex teachings of holy Scripture.
___A simple transaction takes place when we are truly grateful for a gift. We take possession of whatever the give may be when we express gratitude. The gift is ours; it no longer belongs to the giver. The giver wanted us to have the token of love, so our gratitude is a way of returning the love gesture.
___We are instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to be grateful to God in everything. When we can be thankful to God for the pleasant things, that ‘s easy. But to be thankful for the trying, the painful, the difficult, is not so easy. Being thankful for our hardships means that we take the hardship as a developmental exercise in our companionship with the living God. As an athlete puts his body under extreme stress for development, we take our stressful time as a way of growing spiritually to become more useful to God as an adult spiritually.
These studies should be very helpful to those who study them to become more fulfilled in their Christian life whether or not they can measure their own spiritual growth.
