It's Not About the Gift - A Nighttime Prayer
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” — Luke 17:11-19
Please Pray:
Father in Heaven, thank you for giving me good gifts! But Lord, I desire to love you more than the gifts you give. Help me keep a thankful heart, a heart that gives you thanks before moving on. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.
