“You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” – 1 Peter 2:5

God is building and making you into the kind of person that people joke about because you’re so optimistic. God is building into you the kind of person that is the example when people talk about that guy or that girl that is just so happy to be alive. The world needs people like that, by the way; the world needs people like you. The world needs people who are grateful and joyful — rather than entitled and angry — and are thankful for all the wonderful things God has given them.

PRAYER: Thank you, God, for building me into being a grateful person.

REFLECTION: Do you feel God at work in you?
