As you break down your goals, do you pause to reflect upon how far God has brought you?

Remember the valleys He guided you through and the mountains He helped you climb. Those moments of struggle were the soil where your faith took root, and your confidence began to bloom. What seemed impossible then, is a testimony now—and for that, we give thanks. Every step forward brings us closer to where we want to be. Every step counts. It is not a race, but if it were, it would be a marathon, not a sprint.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity." ~ Melody Beattie

Gratitude is more than a feeling; it’s an act of faith. It acknowledges that every season—joyful or challenging—has purpose. How have you grown through what you’ve faced?

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." ~ Philippians 1:6

When you set your goals, don’t just aim for what’s ahead; take time to honor the growth that has already happened. Let gratitude for all things—both the triumphs and the trials—anchor your faith and propel you forward.

How will you let gratitude guide your growth today?
