1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (TEV) 16 Be joyful always, 17 pray at all times, 18 be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus.
And then be thankful; O admire his ways, / Who fills the world's unempty'd granaries! /
A thankless feeder is a thief, his feast / A very robbery, himself no guest.
