神掌權,所以我能凡事謝恩;不是環境使我感恩,而是因著那位主導並掌管環境的主。God is in control, and therefore in EVERYTHING I can give thanks - not because of the situation but because of the One who directs and rules over it.(Kay Arthur)
明確地為所得恩慈憐憫而感恩,是在神的聖靈裡大能的禱告,它如何與神一同得勝是無以言喻的。(本仁約翰)A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.(John Bunyan)
感恩在神眼中是寶貴的祭物,是我們中間最貧窮的人也能獻上的祭;獻上感恩不會使我們變得更窮,而是變得更富足。(陶恕)Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it.(A.W. Tozer)
我們應該為我們每一命運感恩,若是好運,我們感恩是因為它好;若是壞運,我們感恩是因它在我們裡面生出忍耐、謙卑,使我們輕看今世,並帶來永恆家鄉的盼望。(魯益師)We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.(C.S. Lewis)
