Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto Thy holy name, and to triumph in Thy praise. – Psalm 106:47

True gratitude shows itself in acts and deeds. A gentleman had been the means of making a position for a tradesman; and by a misfortune he came to be himself in want of immediate help to tide over a season of great pressure. He called at the house of the person he had so successfully helped and found the wife at home. He told her the case, and she answered at once, “My husband will be ready to lend you his name to the full amount required. He will hasten to you the moment you need him and be glad to do so.” A prudent neighbor afterwards said, “But you may have to pay away all you have in the world.” “Yes”, said the grateful wife, “we do not mind that: he was the making of us; and if we have to lose everything for his sake, we shall do it very cheerfully, for we shall only be back to where we were when he first helped us.” That is a form of gratitude which is rare enough in this world, though I have seen it here and there. Beloved, if the Lord were to take all away that we have, we should only be back where we were at the beginning. We have nothing but what we have received from Him. He takes nothing from us, but what He first gave us: let us bless a taking as well as a giving God. Oh, for this practical gratitude towards the Lord, that we may in all things either do His will cheerfully or suffer it patiently! If we remember the multitude of His mercies practically, we shall be ready to surrender honor, ease, health, estate, yea, life itself for Him who gave Himself for us. Oh, to remember God’s mercies practically in every-day life, in thought and word, and deed! Beloved, we must not let go the memory of the Lord’s matchless kindness; but we must remember it more and more. The older we are, the more must we trust in Him, who has not suffered one of His promises to fail. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
