God is a giving God but humanity is not giving Him thanks. Some persons are only thanking God for something not for all things, for you to give thanks you need to be thankful. You can be unthankful and God will still be giving and blessing you, there are always dangers when God is kind to us and we are not grateful. And these dangers are;
. Vain imagination
. Foolish heart
. Darkened heart
. Becoming a fool
. Idolatry
. Uncleanliness
. Lustful heart
. Changing the truth of God to lie
. Vile affection
. Disqualification or rejection from the kingdom of God.
