Thankfulness is not an occasional act, but a lifestyle of intentional and spontaneous appreciation that leads us into the presence of God, empowers us to be grateful in all circumstances, and generates an overflow of generosity.
Steps to their Healing
First, they recognized Who Jesus was – v13– “Jesus, Master”
Second, they took action – they called out to Him in a loud voice v13 – “Have pity on us!”
As they went, they were healed (v 14).
Why did only 1 of the 10 return to show gratitude?
A thankful heart brings us closer to God.

Here are 4 practical ways to be intentional and deliberate in our thanksgiving to God.
(1) Keep a gratitude journal by writing out five things each day you are thankful for.
(2) Set aside time with God exclusively devoted to thanksgiving and praise.
(3) When you pray, take time to give thanks to God for things such as family, friends, and other blessings of God.
(4) Write God a thank-you note for His goodness and lovingkindness.
Spontaneous thanksgiving is developing an ongoing practice of giving thanks to God as you go throughout your day.
“Today, look around you. Surely there are small blessings, little joys, tiny hints of God’s favor, for which you can be grateful. Don’t take things for granted today. Take them with gratitude.”
- Joni Eareckson Tada, “Gratitude for Granted” Feb. 11, 2015

Thankfulness leads us into the presence of God, but ungratefulness always leads us away from God.

Are we thankful for all that God has done for us or are we too busy enjoying His provision for us that we forget to thank Him?
When we don’t live with an attitude of gratitude, Scripture is clear that our thinking can become futile, our hearts can be darkened, and we can become foolish and forget God.
Are we expressing our gratitude for what Jesus has done for us or are we blaming God for what has happened to us?
Do you want to get well?
Will you take a step of faith today?
Will you choose to get well?
