And Jesus said to him, rise and go your way for faith has made you well. did you know God appreciates our appreciation in Philippians 4 verse 6 I love this in the living Bible Paul says don't worry about anything instead pray about everything tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers. God revels in our gratitude. Now, these five exhortations we looked at are good for any time, for any Christian, but they're especially useful and important in light of Christ's returns.
