Thanksgiving

     Thanksgiving can be a consecrated sacrifice for it can be a sacrifice to give up mourning and selfishness and instead develop a glad, humble heart that recognizes God's greatness. Those who are rooted in their faith and testimony of Jesus Christ live close to the Spirit and humility and therefore naturally abound in thanksgiving.  They therefore abound in the blessings of giving thanks - including entering into the gates of heaven, receiving things of the earth more than a hundred fold and being made glorious. It is also a protection from evil and a way to give back to God in a never ending cycle of love. It is what will bring you into the presence of God, both here on earth and in heaven.
