Colossians 3:12-17 (NASB)
12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
It has been said that “gratitude is learning to recognize and express appreciation for the benefits we have received from God and from others.” The scripture above shares with us that we should allow God's Word to DWELL within us - which means to abide or live within us. Get rid of the negative things that cause "heartache" and put on a new heart filled with God's blessings.
