Why not ignore your gratitude to others?

You should always keep a grateful heart, because only in this way will the world give you great beauty.

There is a story in the Bible: Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road, and when they were about to enter a village, they met 10 leprosy patients. This disease is terrible, there is no cure, and it is easily transmitted to people. People with this disease can't live with ordinary people. Therefore, lepers generally live outside the village and are unclean. This 10 people are in the same boat, live together, can be companions and support each other.

As soon as they heard that Jesus was nearby, they immediately came out of their hiding place to look for Jesus. However, they were afraid to approach Jesus. According to Jewish regulations, these unclean people are not allowed to live with ordinary people.

They stood at a distance and cried out, "Jesus, Lord, have mercy on us!" " "

Jesus saw them standing there, their unrecognizable faces anxiously waiting for his answer. Jesus was moved by pity.

"Go and show your body to the priest!" Jesus commanded them. Jesus didn't say they were cured, but told them to have them examined by the priest.

The law of Moses clearly stipulates that the first thing for a leper to recover is for the priest to examine him. Jesus wanted to test them. They must have the confidence to receive treatment.

Hearing Jesus' words, they all turned to the priest. This 10 people have no doubt about Jesus' words. Their faith did not make them feel ashamed.

As soon as they turned and walked back, the leprosy disappeared and all the leprosy was cured!

One of them stopped suddenly. The other nine people hurried forward, but this one turned back. He went straight to Jesus and knelt at his feet, thanking Jesus for his great kindness.

Jesus said, "Isn't there 10 that is clean?" ..... What about the nine? ..... Except this foreigner, no one else came back to glorify God? ……"

Don't! Not anymore! ..... Only one came back, just one!

"Get up and go, your confidence has saved you." Jesus said to him.

Learn from this Samaritan in the Bible! Thank Jesus humbly, always be grateful, and give glory to God. So in life, don't ignore or hide gratitude to others. There is such a little story:

There was a woman who worked hard to support her family, but never got any gratitude from her family.

One night, she asked her husband, "Peter, I wonder, if I die one day, will you spend some money to buy flowers to mourn me?"

"Of course! Martha, why do you ask? "

"I was just thinking, in fact, by that time, the flowers in 20 yuan have no meaning to me. But when I was alive, sometimes it was just a little flower that meant more to me. "

Isn't Martha's exclamation a heartfelt cry from everyone around her? "Sometimes it's just a little flower" can bring hope and joy to others. So, what are you waiting for? Will you wait until your heart stops loving, your eyes can't open, and your ears can't hear, before you act?

Someone once said that the biggest joke in the world is a "self-made" person, and such a person does not exist. Similarly, the greatest tragedies in the world are those who proudly declare that "nobody gave me anything". No matter whether this person is materially poor or rich, he is suffering from spiritual poverty.

Those who have a strong positive attitude and self-confidence will be truly humble when they realize how much God has given them. They will pay heartfelt tribute to those who have contributed to his life. Bishop Gerald Kennedy said, "When a person realizes that it is faith, dreams and hopes that make everything possible in his life, the greater he is, the more humble he is." . When anyone is proud of his achievements, let him think about what he has got from others. It was their beliefs that helped him correct the direction of life, and his best goal was to realize their beliefs. "

However, gratitude will not come automatically, you must cultivate it. Many people never really feel or show gratitude, for example:

On a stormy night, the Virgin Elgin collided with a cargo ship carrying wood and sank. 393 passengers on board crashed into Lake Michigan. Of these people, 279 were drowned. College student Edward Spencer jumped into the water again and again to rescue the drowning passengers. When he rescued man 17 from the water, he fell down exhausted and never got up again. He can only live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. According to a newspaper in Chicago, a few years later, when someone asked him what impressed him the most on that important night, he said, "Yes 17 people never thanked me."

It is hard to imagine that no one will say thank you, even for themselves and their own lives, what the world will become. Perhaps it is not easy for most people to be grateful. Because it is much easier to pay attention to what we want or need than to realize what we have got. If you want to establish or maintain a strong positive attitude, you should cultivate a positive sense of gratitude.

Why do humans always hide their gratitude? Perhaps it is the friction between people that destroys each other's grateful hearts, or it may be that mutual harm obliterates each other's goodwill, or it may be that they are used to ungrateful days and don't understand themselves. This is putting the cart before the horse.

In life, many people follow the principle of "you meet my needs and I will meet yours", which rarely works. A person is so eager for others to give gratitude, and relatively, he will try his best to gain others' acceptance and recognition. But in this process, this person will inevitably suffer, regret, and even become unconfident. Perhaps a few words of gratitude, or a small act of gratitude, can make a person live happily and freely. Why not?

Think carefully about other people's expressions of love, friendly actions, encouraging confidence and friendly gestures. You expressed your gratitude to your parents just because they are your parents; Thank the boss for hiring you; Thank your friend for extending a hand of friendship; Thank your employees for working hard for you; Appreciate the sacrifice and care of your "other half"; Thank customers for patronizing your store; Thank you to all those who serve you. You should set aside some time every day to express your gratitude to those who have enriched and enriched your life.

After expressing your gratitude to others, you will find that the rewards you get will continue. People who are not stingy with their acceptance, recognition and gratitude to others are always welcome, because getting along with them gives people a special comfort. In contrast, people who are used to hiding their gratitude to others are easily rejected by others.

In short, express gratitude in the most comfortable and natural way. Many people are used to putting their shoulders on others and saying, "I love you." In fact, you don't need to convey your concern and gratitude to others in this way. You don't need disgusting actions, just a few simple words can make others feel your enthusiasm and sincerity.

Biblical proverb

Wisdom is more beautiful than the sun and stars. It is much more powerful than light itself, because black nightclubs catch up with the day, but evil can never conquer wisdom. Its power permeates every corner of the world, and it arranges everything in order.
