Today we will be dealing with 20 Bible verses about expressing gratitude. Expressing gratitude means giving thanks to someone or something that has been done to you. The scripture said in the book of Philippians 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
We must learn to express gratitude for everything we have. When someone does or gives us something, the scripture taught us to show gratitude for it. Rather than asking God for too many things, the best we can do is thank Him for the things He has done for us.
After the heart of service, another thing God cherishes most is the heart of gratitude. Through gratitude, David was named a man after the heart of God. Through thanksgiving, Abraham was named a friend of God. We can’t be damned for giving thanks it expressing gratitude.
One of the many things that showing gratitude does is put us at the edge of getting more blessings. Both man and God love to be appreciated. When we thank God for what he has done, He will do more for us. Likewise, when we thank a man for what he has done, he will be moved to do more. This shows how good it is to express gratitude.
