“And it came about while He was on the way to Jerusalem, that He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. And as He entered a certain village, then leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, ‘Jesus, Master have mercy on us!’ And when He saw them, He said to them, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priests.’ And it came about that as they were going they were cleansed. Now one of them, when he saw that he has been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answered and said, ‘Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine – where are they? Was no one found who turned back to give glory to God, except this foreigner?’ And He sad to him, ‘Rise, and go your way; your faith has made you well.’” Luke 17:11-19

This segment of Scripture is bursting with lessons for us, if we will but look. The obvious one is to thank the Lord for saving you and for the personal and unique journey He set before you to lead you to Him and the personal and unique journey He leads you on from that moment. But there is more. See what you may find today in these verses that the Holy Spirit can use for His purposes in your life.
