The Altitude of Gratitude

Screen Shot 2015-11-24 at 10.46.25 AM

I’ve said it. I’ve heard it said countless times. And, for some reason, nearly every time I have heard it or said it myself, it seems to be spoken in a way that makes it sound cool. It’s the phrase “attitude of gratitude.”

It’s catchy. It rhymes.

And it is important. It is a powerful thing that we cultivate that attitude in our lives; an attitude that shows thanksgiving more and more often. It is a difficult attitude to have on a constant basis, but it leads to something even greater.

It leads to theĀ altitude of gratitude.

We never soar higher in our lives than when we are people who are regularly grateful. People who are filled with thanksgiving are more humble. They shine grace. They get rewarded in life (though that is not what they are seeking). They regularly have healthier relationships.

And they have that peace that passes all understanding, promised to all true believers (Philippians 4:6-7).

While being grateful is its own reward, if you struggle with cultivating an attitude of gratitude, remember where it can take you. You will rise higher in the depths of your soul if you will build that thankful spirit.

You’ll rise in the altitude of gratitude, and soar ever higher.
