Dear God: I'm thankful for You

Dear God,

I'm thankful for You. I thank You for who You are. I cannot imagine life without You. If I try, the only thing that comes to mind is darkness.

I'm thankful that You are You and there is none to compare.

I'm also thankful that You chose to make Yourself manifest to us. You did not just create us and then sit back to watch what happens. No; You sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins.

And that leads me to the next thing I'm thankful for about You. You love us unconditionally. Unconditionally! I don't always think about what it means to have Someone love me unconditionally, but when I do, it overwhelms me.

Thank you, God, for never changing; never making a mistake. You never look down on earth and say, "How did Courtney end up over there?!" You never have to change Your mind knowing or thinking You made a mistake. Because You are perfect. I thank You for being perfect and unchanging.

I pray, God, that as this Thanksgiving day comes and goes, that I will be forever thankful of who You are.

Amen.
