Grace Within Reach: Thanking is Giving

Thanking is Giving

You may run to and fro serving me, giving until you are exhausted. You may give inordinate amounts of money to my causes, thinking you are bringing me joy, puffing yourself up. But I own all the gold in all the world, and I desire faith and rest, above sacrifice. I need nothing from man. Do not delude yourself by becoming drained for me. Burnout is not obedience. So, let the giving of thanks be your sacrifice to God. Your thanks and your love for others bring me joy, let these be your gifts.

With love beyond measure,

Jesus

About the Author

Cyndi is a Christian writer with a heart for grace and freedom in Christ. Through fresh reflections and scripture‑rooted devotionals, she invites readers into rest and relationship. She longs for those who see themselves only as “sinners saved by grace” to know they are truly good in Christ, and for those who strive and battle, to hear that the fight is finished. Her writing is shaped by the promise from Isaiah 40:1–2 — God’s call to “Comfort, comfort My people with gentle, compassionate words. Speak tenderly from the heart to revive those in shame, and proclaim that their warfare is over. Their debt of sin is paid for, and they will not be treated as guilty. Prophesy to them that they have received from the hand of God twice as many blessings as all their sins” (paraphrase from TPT). She lives in Florida with her husband of 37 years and their dog, Smudge.
