Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine--where are they? Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner ? Luke 17:17-18
Jesus had compassion on 10 lepers one day and healed them. As the were sent on to show themselves to the priest, only one came back to say "thank you." Why did all of them know how to say "please", but only one knew "thank you?" The only one who said thanks, was a foreigner. We might conclude that the nine Jews thought they deserved the healing, but the foreigner was amazed. Expectation can be a wonderful humbling experience. Let's never think God's blessings are "too little, too late." May our humble spirit rise in rejoicing when His blessings come to us.
