in all things, may you give thanks

In joy, may you give thanks for the blessings of God.
In sorrow, may you give thanks for the comfort of God.
In confusion, may you give thanks for the wisdom of God.
In all things, may you give thanks for the purpose of God –
salvation from a world of envy and hate,
transformation into a life of peace and joy,
adoption into a Kingdom that has no end.
