The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?”—Luke 17:17 (NIV)
In the above Scripture, Jesus healed ten lepers but only one threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him. Gratitude is an important part of faith, a spiritual discipline that opens our hearts to His love. What are you thankful for? Share your praise with Him.
Heavenly Father, thank You!
