Ephesians 1:16
I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
Who are you thinking about when you read the verse above? Chances are it is someone dear to you who brightens up your life. What if it is a co-worker who makes your day miserable? What if it is a nosy relative? How can that be?
Think about this. The person who forces us to be more patient and forgiving is a person who is doing us a favor. We are growing in our Christlike character in part, due to an environment they are helping to create. So, pray away!
Who can you give thanks for today who expands your graciousness?
