The ultimate reason to be thankful: God remains faithful... to Himself... forever!
"God is the one Being in the entire universe for whom self-centeredness, or the pursuit of his own glory, is the ultimately loving act. For him, self-exaltation is the highest virtue. When he does all things "for the praise of his glory," he preserves for us and offers to us, the only thing in the entire world, which can satisfy our longings. God is for us, and therefore has been, is now and always will be, first, for himself. I urge you not to resent the centrality of God in his own affections, but to experience it as the fountain of your everlasting joy." - John Piper

As a sinner who is frequently aware of my lack of faithfulness in all aspects of life, I am extremely grateful that God remains faithful to Himself for all time.
