In Luke 17:11–19, Jesus heals ten lepers who cry out for mercy, but only one — a Samaritan — returns to give thanks. This story beautifully reminds us that gratitude reveals true faith. The lepers’ healing restored more than their health; it gave them back their lives, their communities, and their dignity. Yet nine kept going, while one stopped to worship. That’s the challenge for us — not to take God’s blessings for granted, but to pause and thank Him. Like that one grateful leper, we’re called to recognize God’s mercy, to see His hand in every good thing, and to let gratitude shape our hearts. Because when we stop and give thanks, we don’t just acknowledge what God has done — we draw closer to the One who made us whole.Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
