Gratefulness is key to healing. Choosing to be grateful is choosing to acknowledge God's involvement in our lives. It is marking what he has already done, and it is marking the one we need to lean on for what still must happen in our hearts. Oftentimes our brokenness comes as a result of us not being lined up with him. Sometimes the reason we are so broken is because we have not believed that we are loved in a particular area. For example, the person who frequently feels rejected hasn't come to see the truth of their acceptance by God. When we give thanks, we reconnect with the source of life and truth."
