1Th 5:18 in all circumstances give thanks, for this is the desire of Elohim in Messiah יהושע for you.
 
it's interesting to note, scripture doesn't need a preacher to proclaim that His Kindness is everlasting!
G-d Himself pens it 12 times throughout the Tanach through those He inspired...
and all that He requires of us - is to give thanks for it...
wow...
then on 4 additional occasions, He reminds us of His Kindness in Psalm 107.
it reminds me of the scripture that says it's "His Kindness that leads us to repentance" in the Brit Chadasha.
so if you're thinking what i'm thinking - our Heavenly Father, our Avi, is all about making ways for us to repent, to turn from our sin and change and turn towards Him for life everlasting through Messiah Yeshua.
the Creator of the Universe is not some mean, abusive force beating humankind into submission with His list of do's and don't's and rights and wrongs...
He is a Righteous and Just Father who gives HIs creation free will and choice...
But He is also Kind and His Kindness is everlasting - that means His Kindness is perpetual and forever -
la olam vaed...
and not only are we to give HIm thanks for His Kindness, but according to His Word, there are also many other instances when we are to give Him thanks!
can you see how many things we are to thank Him for each day???
