*INGRATITUDE - alse see GRATITUDE
Shakespeare said that it was sharper than a serpent's tooth to have a thankless child. We must see to it that we are never guilty of the ugliest and the most graceless of sins, that of ingratitude. (DSB Revelation Vol 2 Commentary, p28)
We are constantly ingrateful towards God since we don't constantly thank, praise, worship Him because in our sin we don't even realize his presence, grace, and providence and our gifts (which come from Him). We don't like it when our kids are ungrateful, and we therefore often put a hold on those things. Imagine His great love to endlessly forgive us. (Randy)
