The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus
Have you ever poured out your heart, almost begging God to solve a problem, but it doesn’t feel like your prayer is ever answered? You wonder if there’s a better way to pray you don’t know about. Then some days, you really connect with God in prayer and it just makes you want to be closer to Him?
Each week The Bible Speaks to You Podcast helps you rediscover the original Christianity of Jesus. Host James Early, Bible teacher and speaker, and an occasional guest dig deep into how to think, pray, and love like Jesus. And how to experience more of Jesus’s promise that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

268 – The Best Way to Express Your Gratitude for Jesus
268 – How do you express your gratitude for Jesus?
There are always so many things to be grateful for during the Thanksgiving season here in the United States. But if you don't live in the US and don't have an official Day of Thanksgiving, I hope you always have some kind of gratitude practice.
Gratitude is always in season.
Right now, I am focusing on how grateful I am for Jesus. And I encourage you to do the same. That's what this week's episode is all about:
- Words are not enough. It's important to feel gratitude for Jesus in your heart
- Take some time to ponder how grateful you are for Jesus
- Put your gratitude into action by following Jesus's commandments
- Get close to what Jesus said and did: study his words and actions and follow his example
- Love people the way Jesus would
- Love people the way you would love Jesus
When you actively strive to follow Jesus’s way of thinking, praying, and loving, you’re going to start acting more and more like him. You'll be more and more like him and your life will be different.
You’ll forgive people who mistreated you. You’ll love your enemies. You will be a peacemaker. You will have compassion on people who are suffering and you’ll be able to bring healing and hope to them.
And you'll support others in their desire to follow Jesus.
There's no better way to express your gratitude for Jesus than to follow his example and share your faith with others.
