My daily notes this morning were looking at the passage in Luke 17 vs. 11-19 where Jesus healed the 10 lepers, but looking at the fact that only one came back to say thanks. How often do we forget, in the busyness and hectic-pace of this world we live in to say thank-you to the one who has released us from the grip of sin. We must never forget the purpose of our cleansing from sin: to give worship and praise to our Lord, and live our lives as a daily thank-you for his gift of Grace. So often we gratefully accept the gift, but forget the thank-you. Psalm 103 gives us a few things to be thankful for as a starter. Live your life as a thank-you, don’t simply accept the gift. Something I find myself having to constantly remember.
