There are many things that I am thankful for, but I am most thankful that I am alive. Being alive means that I have another chance to be a blessing, to forgive an offender or seek forgiveness from an offense, to try again, to believe anew, to encourage, to inspire, to lift up, to affirm and simply to make my life impactful upon this Earth. When we are purposeful with our life, we will not allow ourselves to simply endure life, but rather we will become proactive knowing that our life is significant and can be used to make a difference that will never be forgotten or erased.
No matter what you have gone through in times past, I want you to know that you can use your life to make a positive impact. You simply must believe that you are able to. You must believe that you have been equipped with unique gifts, talents and abilities that are to be used to their fullest potential. You must not doubt your life's purpose, but rather wholeheartedly believe that God can use you in ways that you have never thought of or imagined before. All He is looking for is a willing vessel. A vessel that says not my will, but Thine be done. When we surrender our will, we will be so thankful that God graciously chose us to change our life and the lives of those around us for the better. (Isaiah 6:8) (Luke 22:42)
Be thankful that you are alive because you still have time to use your life in a meaningful way. Don't discount your worth, your ability, your talents or your gifts. Say within your being “I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I will bless the Lord for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I will believe and not doubt. I will be the head and not the tail. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.” Let your confession over your life be positive. Think overcoming thoughts of victory and dare to be triumphant in everything that you do. When you do these simple things on a consistent basis, your life will change in extraordinary ways. (Philippians 4:13) (Ephesians 6:10)
I hope this message inspires and challenges your heart to believe that you can overcome in any circumstance because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Colossians 3:16-17 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
James 1:22-24 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”
Psalm 119:11-16 “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.”
Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
