A Grateful Heart (Midyear Thanksgiving) - Rev. Richard Kakulu

Luke 17:11-19 Amplified Bible 11 While Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing [along the border] between Samaria and Galilee.  12 As He entered a village, He was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance;  13 and they raised their voices and called out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”  14 When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were [miraculously] healed and made clean.  15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying and praising and honoring God with a loud voice;  16 and he lay face downward at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. He was a Samaritan.  17 Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten [of you] cleansed? Where are the [other] nine?  18 Was there no one found to return and to give thanks and praise to God, except this foreigner?”  19 Jesus said to him, “Get up and go [on your way]. Your faith [your personal trust in Me and your confidence in God’s power] has restored you to health.” 1 Chronicles 16:29 Amplified Bible 29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory and honor due His name;Bring an offering [of thanksgiving], and come before Him;Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. Psalm 103:2-3 Amplified Bible 2 Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul,And do not forget any of His benefits;3 Who forgives all your sins,Who heals all your diseases;
