What other benefits of gratitude do we have? Let us see more examples from the passage we read yesterday

Gratitude draws us closer to God

As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance but raised their voices, calling out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Taking a good look at them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” They went, and while still on their way, became clean. One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God. He kneeled at Jesus’ feet, so grateful. He couldn’t thank him enough — and he was a Samaritan. – Luke 17:12-16[MSG]

Mr. Bamidele has been ill for years. He was so ill that he spent all his life’s savings on his health. He moved from one health center to another, but all to no avail. It seemed as though the more he sought medical help, the worse his case became.

Luck however smiled on him one day, when he met a benefactor. This ‘good samaritan’ not only ensured he got to the best hospital in the world, he also paid for his hospital bills and other medical expenses.

When Mr. Bamidele got back to his feet, he got close to his benefactor, literarily serving him in the process. Who wouldn’t want to get closer to such a person?

Just like Mr. Bamidele, the leper who was healed naturally got close to Jesus.

One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God. He kneeled at Jesus’ feet, so grateful. He couldn’t thank him enough — and he was a Samaritan. – Luke 17:15-16

The leper couldn’t but imagine the magnitude of God’s kindness towards him. He had to go back to give him thanks.

Little children, let us learn to show gratitude everyday of our lives.

Prayer:
Father, help me to show gratitude at all times. Amen

Action Point:
Keep showing gratitude.

Declaration:
I will not murmur. I will give thanks to God at all times.
