As Christians, we are commanded to have an attitude of gratitude and thankfulness in all circumstances, whether times are good or bad. We should strive to be grateful people no matter how much or how little we possess physically, how large or small the good deeds done for us are, or how great or little our sins forgiven are. Gratefulness in every circumstance prevents jealousy, entitlement, and self-righteousness, and helps us appreciate God's abundant blessings rather than taking them for granted.
