About This Series
Scripture consistently shows that gratitude is not an emotion we wait to feel — it is a discipline we choose to practise. Over 60 days, you will trace this truth from the Upper Room on the night of betrayal, through the darkest valleys of suffering, all the way to the final vision of God’s throne. Three parts, twenty stories each, one life-changing truth per day.
Each devotional is short enough to read in five minutes and deep enough to carry you through the day. Follow the series from Day 1, or start anywhere — every message stands on its own.
