"When we praise God, we touch His heart and He opens doors that no one can shut." - Myles Munroe
"Thanksgiving is the language of the heart that touches the heart of God." - Ravi Zacharias

Gratitude is one of the best things that touches God's heart.
When we express gratitude to God, we are admitting that we are dependent on God for His benefits and blessings. This sense of humility can move God to bless us, because He yearns to bless those who are humble and acknowledge their need for Him.

Being grateful to God even in small or big things, even when we are faced with pains and difficulties, in our time of rejoicing can move Him to open doors to many blessings physically, spiritually and otherwise in our lives.

Why this happens is because gratitude creates an aura of acceptance and receptiveness, and God desires to bless those who are open and receptive to His goodness and generosity.

There are many stories in the bible where people expressed gratitude to God even in pains and little things and He(God) was moved to bless them;

• Hannah was a barren woman and was in desperate need for a child. She prayed to God and He granted her petition and she gave birth to a son she expressed gratitude to God. Because she expressed gratitude for the child she had received, God continuously blessed her with more children.

• Another story is the story of Job. After Job suffered a great loss , he still remained faithful to God and expressed gratitude for all that he had been given. As a result of this humility, God restored all that Job had lost and blessed him with even great wealth and riches.

As children of the father we are expected to inculcate a habit of gratitude to God in every aspect of our lives.
