Gratitude can be a huge turning point in our lives.  God generously sends His unconditional love on all.  He sends His rain on the just and on the unjust.  Conversion is when the unjust get a vision of a God of unconditional love and fall before Him in gratitude and worship.  Gratitude to our gracious Lord not only changes our circumstances, it transforms us.

“Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.” Colossians 2:6-7 (NASB)
