Today we're wrapping up our series on gratitude , and this final installment is about being an ambassador for gratitude . Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist working for education and women . In 2005 , while riding on a bus , she was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban and the attack was revenge for her activism .
Incredibly , malala recovered from her gruesome injury and today considers herself an ambassador of gratefulness . Here's a quote I can speak , I can see you , I can see everyone , and today I can speak and I'm getting better day by day .
It's just because of the prayers of the people and because of these prayers , god has given me this new life , and this is a second life . This is a new life and I want to serve the people . Nick Vujicic is another person who has decided that his physical circumstances will not keep him from a life of joy .
Born without limbs yes , without arms or legs , nick leads a full life , including marriage and children . A motivational speaker known worldwide , nick always has a smile on his face and he says this about gratitude If you keep concentrating on the things you wish you had over the things you have , you sort of forget the things that you have .
So be grateful for what it is that you already have . Nick also tells audiences to be thankful for three things most important in their lives . This calls to mind Hebrews 12 28 , which says therefore , let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken , and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe For believers .
This is a beautiful reminder that we are part of a family of believers that will live with God forever . This is the greatest gift we've been given , and it should motivate us not only to be grateful for ourselves , but to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others .
Motivate us not only to be grateful for ourselves , but to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others . By purposing to be a grateful person day in and day out , you will shine a light on the love of Christ for those that you come in contact with , and that is an ambassadorship with eternal implications . Let's pray with eternal implications .
Let's pray , father , god , we want to be your ambassadors here on earth . Many are looking for a life changed by the power of your gospel . Help us to make this a priority . In Jesus' name amen .
