| "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Chrisr." Ephesians 5:20 Evidence of being filled with the Spirit is an attitude of thankfulness. In the Book of Psalms (my favorite!), you will notice a great amount of thanksgiving and praise to God. And it is on a high level! There is not enough of that among believers today. We should all be saying, "Praise the Lord, and thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift!" And as we say this, it must be from the heart ~ it is meaningless unless it comes from the heart. The filling of the Spirit produces a life of thankfulness so that we can honestly thank God for "all" things. God Bless You. There is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings. ~J.
