thankfulness

Where’s the Gratitude?

Where’s the Gratitude?

Luke 17:18 “Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”

Ingratitude Surrounds

Jesus healed ten lepers, an incredible act of compassion.

Shockingly, only one returned to thank Him – a despised Samaritan outsider. The remainder took Christ’s grace for granted.

Focused on Fleeting Gifts

In their excitement over physical healing, the nine overlooked the Giver.

They sought Jesus’ gifts more than His presence. We easily mirror such self-focus.

Give Thanks in All Things

Followers of Christ must cultivate gratitude, not just for big blessings but for His faithfulness in each moment.

Thankfulness acknowledges God’s ever-present grace.

Guard Against Entitlement

Seeking God’s gifts without praising Him breeds spiritual entitlement.

Thanksgiving keeps our hearts aligned with His undeserved generosity. Offer extravagant thanks!
