I want to be the one who comes back to say thank you.

A Bible affirmation for gratitude, rooted in Luke 17:15-16.

When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice. He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him - and he was a Samaritan.

Luke 17:15-16 · BSB

Reflection

Jesus healed ten men with leprosy. Only one came back to thank Him, and he was a Samaritan, an outsider. Jesus noticed. Gratitude is rarer than blessing, and it never goes unseen.

A prayer

Jesus, You've done so much for me. I'm coming back to say thank You.
