How is your faith in God??? Are you thankful??

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!! Luke 17:11-19 This is where Jesus heals ten men with leprosy. Now these men were crying out to Jesus to have mercy on them. Jesus looked at them and said, "Go show yourselves to the preiest." As they went they were cleansed of leprosy.
Now why did this happen??? Jesus can, could, and did heal. But why go to the priests? Lepers were required to stay away from the people since the disease was contagious, but if they were ever cured, they had to go to the priest and the priest would declare him clean (Leviticus 14).
Now, these ten men had the faith that Jesus could heal, off they went, going to the priest to be declared clean.....except 1----only 1 man realized that his faith played a role in his healing and came back to be thankful. The same lesson is here today, only grateful Christians grow in understanding God's grace. God does not demand that we thank him, but he is pleased when we do so. And, in our response to Him, He teaches us more about Him. The man that came back was a Samaritan-a race despised by the Jews and Luke is showing us that God's grace is for everybody.
Right now, where is your faith? Are you thankful for what you have? God gave me this new job I am in and I can't praise His name enough!! How about you?? Love you all....thank you for reading.
In Christ's Love and Grace
