Gratitude is an attitude. And first we form our attitudes (attitudes are a way of thinking, feeling and acting towards something or someone), and then they form us! Gratitude needs to be our perpetual attitude toward God, in response to God’s grace and graciousness. The best brief definitions I have heard of gratitude and mercy in relationship to each other is this: “Gratitude is when we get what we do not deserve; mercy is when we do not get what we deserve.”
