## Highlights
- As I get older, I want to focus on those things that God says matter most—things like letting His Spirit cultivate in me a gracious, wise, kind, and loving heart. ([Location 4970](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=4970))
- “the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day” (Prov. 4:18). ([Location 4972](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=4972))
- If you’ve always wanted prayer to be as natural as breathing, then try paving the way with gratitude. And see if prayer “without ceasing” doesn’t become your experience instead of your exception. ([Location 5144](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5144))
- Pride is the father of ingratitude and the silent killer of a grateful heart. ([Location 5163](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5163))
- Is there any resentment or frustration lurking in your heart over something that God hasn’t provided, fixed, or performed? How would a humble heart view that situation differently? ([Location 5164](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5164))
- A grateful heart is a full heart, whereas an unthankful heart is an empty one. ([Location 5175](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5175))
- Oh, to be more like Paul—and a three-legged dog. To have a full heart even when deprived of wants and pleasures, rather than an empty heart despite being surrounded by God’s abundant blessings. ([Location 5182](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5182))
- Gratitude is often the difference between pervasive sadness and pure satisfaction. ([Location 5183](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5183))
- grateful people are characterized by thankful words, while ungrateful people are given to murmuring and complaining. ([Location 5200](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5200))
- In a typical day, do you speak more words of complaint or of thankfulness? What does your response reflect about your heart? ([Location 5203](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00887P8O0&location=5203))
