Reverence for Sacred Things

The following video discusses gratitude as an antidote for dissatisfaction. The video describes gratitude as an expression, feeling, and behavior. The video discusses ways in which we can "feel" more gratitude and satisfaction in our lives by expressing and showing more gratitude.   I suggest that "reverance" is exactly how we "show" gratitude. Reverence is the scripturally defined "behavior" of gratitude. 

Therefore, if we wish to feel more satisfied, positive, and grateful for someone or something, we can begin by both expressing gratitude for them, as well as showing gratitude towards them.  Service is a way we show reverence to God and others. 

Sometimes we may fall into the trap thinking test we will feel more love and gratitude for our spouse or others if they do more or serve us more than they are doing.  In reality, the opposite may be true. Maybe the key to feeling more love and gratitude for another is for us to serve, express gratitude, and reverence them more than we are doing. 

Remember that Jesus Christ loves us with a perfect love not because of anything we have done for Him, but because of what He has done for us
