And He (Jesus) said to him (returning leper), “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”  Luke 17:19

This is the last verse Lord of a some what puzzling story.  Ten lepers were healed and yet only one came back to thank You for the healing.  Now You are telling the one that was healed that it was his faith that had made him well and to go on his way.  What are we to see in this story?  What are we to learn as we let You show us what we need to know.  What are we to learn about faith and the changes it can make in our lives when we truly believe.

Thank You Lord for this story.

Thank You Lord that it reminds me that I must remember to thank You.

Thank You for showing me how easy it is in the excitement of an answered prayer to forget to thank You.  I too have done that Lord just like the other nine lepers.

Thank You for Your forgiveness and unconditional love.

Thank You for faith.

Thank You for healing.

Thank You Lord.
