How's Your Gratitude?
You would think all ten lepers -- instantly healed -- would've ran to Jesus and thank Him for a new start in life, but only one did so. The man, a Samaritan, must've shouted, "Glory to God!" and fell at His feet with praise and thanks.
By coming to Jesus, the man received something greater than physical healing. He was also saved from his sins. Jesus said, "Your faith has saved you."
Oh, it's wonderful to experience the miracle of physical healing, but its even more wonderful to experience the miracle of salvation.
Before we judge the other nine too harshly, how is our own gratitude? How often do we take our blessings for granted?
Psalm 107:8 Oh that men would praise The Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.
Every child of God should cultivate the grace of gratitude. It not only opens the heart to further blessings, but glorifies and pleases the Father.
