Then I am like the 9 lepers
Who only received healing
But NOT wholeness
My heart can grow callous
Self-sufficient
Self-reliant
Self-focusedIf I do not remember
Your Costly Sacrifice
How then can I
Please You
For You gave Your Life
TO BE WITH ME!
On his way to Jerusalem Jesus passed through the border region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered one village, ten men approached him, but they kept their distance, for they were lepers. They shouted to him, “Mighty Lord, our wonderful Master! Won’t you have mercy on us and heal us?” When Jesus stopped to look at them, he spoke these words: “Go to be examined by the Jewish priests.” They set off, and they were healed while walking along the way. One of them, a Samaritan, when he discovered that he was completely healed, turned back to find Jesus, shouting out joyous praises and glorifying God. When he found Jesus, he fell down at his feet and thanked him over and over, saying to him, “You are the Messiah.” “So where are the other nine?” Jesus asked. “Weren’t there ten who were healed? They all refused to return to give thanks and give glory to God except you, a foreigner from Samaria?” Then Jesus said to the healed man lying at his feet, “Arise and go. It was your faith that brought you salvation and made you whole.”
Let us always remember
to return to you
With thanksgiving and praise
Glorifying You
Falling face down at Your Feet
In holy adoration
Gratitude overflowing from our hearts
Your response was beyond healing of his body of the disease of leprosy
You made him whole!
If I do not remember…!
