11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 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!”

Luke 17:11-19 NIV

14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

Luke 17:11-19 NIV

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 17:11-19 NIV

17 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?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Luke 17:11-19 NIV

Strong Faith = Grateful heart.

for his deliverance (Ps 35:18), for loving us and being faithful (Ps 52:9; 107:8),for hearing our cry (Ps 118:21), for safe arrival after a long, arduous journey (Acts 28:15),for other believers and for the testimony of their faith (Rom 1:8), for the gift of salvation that enables one not to sin (Rom 6:17), for delivering us from our tendency to sin (Rom 7:25), for the spiritual gift of being able to address God (1 Cor 14:18), for resurrection hope (1 Cor 15:57), for testimony, deliverance and victory in the midst of persecution (2 Cor 2:14),

How should we cultivate

a grateful heart?

He REALIZED……started with his thought..

He RETURNED……followed up with his action.

He WORSHIPPED……capped with the right attitude.

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that

would suffice.

Strong Faith = Grateful Heart.

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

G.K. Chesterton

Give thanks in ALL circumstances.
