Out of Order, Part 5: Gratitude :: 9/25/22

John Driver continues the series by addressing the role of gratitude in our lives. Rather than hyper-positivity that denies the trouble of reality, real gratitude is the healthy balancing of one’s viewpoint of an often harsh reality with an acknowledgment of an ever-present and eternal goodness unvanquished by trouble and evil. It is not just about seeing the good in all things, but believing the goodness of God is for you… that God’s goodness exists and will ultimately prevail in all things. Gratitude helps to put the realities of life back into their correct order.
