Psalm 90:14 reminds us to ask God to satisfy us each morning with His unfailing love so that we can rejoice and be glad all our days. I love that! Because it’s easy to wake up thinking about everything we need to do, everything we’re worried about, or all of the things we wish were different.
We can spend so much time looking for happiness in our circumstances, in what we have, or in what we hope to accomplish, that we forget the greatest source of joy has already been given to us. And that’s God’s love.
Nothing this world offers can compare to the security and peace found in knowing we are loved by our heavenly Father. His love doesn’t change when our circumstances do, and it doesn’t disappear on the days when we’re struggling or falling short.
A grateful heart begins when we stop looking for something more to make us happy, and start recognizing the incredible gift of God’s love right where we are. That doesn’t mean every day will be easy or that we won’t have disappointments. But it does mean we have a reason to rejoice even in the middle of them.
