'Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well".'
- Luke 17: 19
Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[b] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

I remember the advertisement quite clearly, "Have you drank your yakult today?" Haha.
But let's have another reminder. "Have you said Thanks today?" Thanks to who? To God!
Maybe some of you have heard those verses before. Isn't it a good reminder to us? When things finally go well, sometimes, we tend to forget, "Aha! Thank you God!"
Did God heal you today? Did He helped you in any way? Do remember to say ....... Thank you! (:
If you don't recall any incidents, just remember: Christ died on the cross for you and I. He loved us this much (opening His arms).
For this, God deserves our THANKS eternally.
Dear God, we thank you for EVERY single thing that's happening to us. We know that you love us. We did not deserve anything, but you showed your love to us by taking up all our sins on that cross. Nothing we do deserve it. We just want to give thanks and praise to you God! (:
Amen.
