Have you ever noticed how powerful quotes can unlock something deep in your heart? These 7 quotes from Nancy DeMoss Wolgemoth will do just that for you.

That is why you see so many graphics floating through your Facebook or Pinterest feeds with Bible verses and thoughtful or hilarious quotes!

It’s because quotes touch the heart!

Who Doesn’t Love Powerful Quotes?!

A picture with a quote creates an emotional response that imprints the verse into your heart.

A serious quote might resonate and stay with you longer because the picture creates a mental image.

You might identify with an element of truth in that quote that cracked you up! There is always something truthful in a funny quote.

I have seen many books about gratitude on Amazon but they are not all created equal. Often gratitude is connected with an outcome of happiness instead of joy.

It’s not that you can’t be happy.

When happiness embraces gratitude it gives depth to the experience.

Happiness is a bowl of ice cream with your daughter!

7 Powerful Quotes to Unloc Gratitude from Your Heart

Gratitude is being grateful for the memory!

But . . . gratitude without Jesus does not produce the same results. There is something missing when gratitude does not have a solid foundation in Christ.

One book that I have benefited from reading is Nancy DeMoss Wolgemoth’s book called, Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy. I love this book!

I am going to share some quotes from Nancy’s book in hopes that they will unlock gratitude from your heart.

If you are like me, most likely your heart is bound up by the chains of ingratitude.

When someone does something nice for me, I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to express how I feel about what they did for me.

If the truth were totally seen in my heart, I am afraid that there might be ingratitude that is locking down my response.

I most likely am not as thankful as I think I am!

Yes, we have probably all been taught to say “Thank you” but how often are we just mouthing those words without truly thinking thankful thoughts?

7 Powerful Quotes to Unlock Gratitude

It really isn’t the powerful quotes themselves that are powerful. These quotes are just words. That’s all.

Is sin taking up residence in your heart and does ingratitude need to be rooted out?

These powerful quotes will inspire you!
