THE POWER OF GRATITUDE

No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18 TLB)

The story of the ten lepers is an interesting one. It shows the importance of gratitude. On that day, the Lord healed ten lepers; however, only one returned to say ‘Thank you.’ His attitude of gratitude brought him much more than just a healing, he had every part of his body he’d lost restored to him!

Gratitude always brings more. Every time you show your gratitude to God, your experience will be “…more than you dare ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20 CEV).

????SCRIPTURE READING

Luke 17:11-19 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

LET’S PRAY
Thank you, dear Father, for your goodness in my life, for all you’ve done for me, and all you’re still doing, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
