"Lord, I Thank You!!"

[12] As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance [13] and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” [14] When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. [15] One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. [16] He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

Luke 17:12-16 NIV

THE ONLY ONE out of the 10 that came back to tell Jesus, "Thank You!!' just happened to be a Samaritan.(Jews & Samaritans didn't associate with each other back then John 4:9 NIV). Coincidence, I think not!! 

Beloved, 

‭I pray that God will do something SO MAJOR for you that it makes you forget that little prejudice attitude you have towards that person that's of a different ethnicity than you.

Because Jesus, He doesn't care about ethnicity, He cares about you. It doesn't matter if you're Jewish or you're Samaritan etc.

So, Don't let your pride stop you from being thankful, stop you from telling Jesus, "Thank You!!"

He knew the other men wouldn't come back to say, "Thank You."  But because that one Samaritan was worth His time & effort....

Because you were worth His time and effort, because He healed you when you thought you couldn't be healed...

Give Him Thanks!!

Stop watching, waiting to see what those around you will do.

Everybody reacts differently to  be healed.

Perhaps, They didn't NEED that healing, that deliverance, that blessing as much as you did.

Perhaps, Like that Samaritan you carry a different spirit, a spirit of thankfulness.

1Thess 5:18 NLT

That's the Spirit, God is looking for This Thanksgiving and every day thereafter, because "Thank You" is truly the password by which you will enter His Presence (uninterrupted) for the rest of your life; if you so desire. 

Psalm 100:4 MSG

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Until Next Sunday.
