A grateful heart
Jesus had just finished healing some folks and he asked them to show forth themselves to the Priest. They were referred to as 10 lepers but I call them, 1 wise and 9 foolish fellow. Only one of these lepers came back to thank Jesus for their cleansing and he got an extra touch from God for this. He was made whole while the other nine thought it unnecessary to come back to thank God for the cleansing they received. Hence they was only cleansed from leprosy.
We most times get it wrong when we refuse to appreciate people for their help, support and assistance in one way or the other. Even Jesus was amazed that out of the ten(10) only one was grateful. Indicating that he appreciates it when we give honour and praises to whosoever deserves it.
Life is too short. Appreciate God for the life he gives to you on daily basis. If there is one thing we all must cultivate; then it’s a grateful heart. Be thankful to God and all he has done for you. Be thankful to people for whatsoever they have helped you with. Such attitude speaks a lot. No one would have known that the lepers also needed to be made whole until one person came back to show some appreciation. You can never tell what you have missed by refusing to say these simple words “Thank you”. So the next time you are opportune, don’t take it for granted.
You might be missing a lot by ignoring to appreciate God or people that have been a source of blessing to you. If you can read this article, it’s enough reason to give thanks to God for good sight. Have a grateful heart towards life.
