Thankfulness, Activation, and Joy

Thankfulness. It’s a key in the Kingdom of God.

Gratitude and thankfulness are the prerequisite for turning on the right side of the brain and also activating the joy center in the brain.

Without right brain activation and the cultivation of joy, we hinder the proper development of attachment with others with God.

God’s design of the human brain is beautiful and as you explore it, you begin to see scriptures that discuss abiding, renewal, repentance, and transformation, through a more complete lens.

Thankfulness is the gateway to abiding. Abiding is the gateway to fruit. Fruit is both what’s required of us, and is a necessary part of being holistically healthy as a Christian Father.

Take a few minutes today to write out and re-experience the joy of the things you’re grateful to God for. Then recognize him through prayer.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
