[Seed Of Destiny 7 November 2019 Devotional] Topic: Gratitude and Greatness
To complain is to call pain; those who murmur never see more; and it is only great fools that are never grateful
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To complain is to call pain; those who murmur never see more; and it is only great fools that are never grateful
Gratitude is the quality of being thankful. It is the readiness to show appreciation in return for kindness received. Greatness on the other hand is the quality of being great, eminent or prominent in size, quality or achievement. Greatness implies importance and fame, power or success.
There is an undeniable connection between gratitude and greatness. Gratitude is a provoker of greatness. Anywhere you see gratitude, greatness will manifest automatically. On the other hand, ingratitude is a diminishing factor and an eternal enemy of greatness. That is why it is only great fools that are never grateful.
