Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”

Luke 17

Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” v17-18

Everyone who has Jesus as their Lord and Savior, despite there circumstances, can truly say they are blessed.  Jesus wants us to be mindful of this - we are to demonstrate Jesus' love to others and this requires us to acknowledge what Jesus has done in our own lives.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, like the one leper who jumped for joy and returned to thank You for the blessing of his healing, I too am thankful for the MANY blessings you have provided.  I can go on and on about these blessings but suffice to say that I am not deserving of such blessings.  I exist to glorify You yet many times, even this week, I exhibit anger or impatience, or pride.  These are sins and I know You love me anyway Jesus so thank You.  Yet I need Your forgiveness so please forgive me Jesus and help me turn from my sin.  Help me be the man You intend for me.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.
