*Using Gratefulness to Multiply Your Seed*

Gratitude has the power to multiply what we have. A perfect example of this is the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. In John 6:11, Jesus took five loaves of bread and two fish, gave thanks, and miraculously multiplied them to feed the multitude. What was seemingly insignificant became more than enough through the power of gratitude.

This miracle teaches us that when we give thanks to God, no matter how little we have, He can multiply it. It’s easy to focus on what we lack, but the secret to increase lies in being thankful for what we already possess. In Philippians 4:6, we are encouraged to present our requests to God *with thanksgiving*. Gratitude shifts our perspective from scarcity to abundance and positions us for God’s blessings.

When you plant a seed, whether it’s your time, finances, or efforts, adding gratefulness activates the potential for it to grow. Like Jesus, when you acknowledge and give thanks for what you have, God will take that seed and cause it to multiply beyond what you could imagine.

**Call to Action**:

Cultivate a heart of gratitude today. Whatever seed you’ve sown in faith, give thanks to God for it, and trust Him to multiply it. Don’t focus on the size of your seed, but on the power of God to bring increase.

**Prayer Point**:

Lord, I thank You for every seed You have placed in my hands. I ask that as I give thanks, You will multiply my efforts and resources. Help me to always approach You with a grateful heart, trusting in Your power to bring abundance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
