Good morning and happy Tuesday. I was watching "The Bible" on the history channel yesterday, what an amazing job they did. The thing I like most about it is you get of see my favorite thing about the Bible, the people around Jesus. The looks on their faces when something is said or done. That reaction to Him that can't be helped. One that stuck out was the leper moving through the crowd announcing himself unclean. It was no coincidence he walked right into Jesus. Here in a nut shell is the love story of God. A man no one else will even consider to be next to much less have compassion for, Jesus touches and heals right away. And then the expression of gratitude he felt and how he knew someone loved him, was beautiful. We, as a society still cast people under ourselves. Not intentionally for the most part I think, but we do. I hope that the leper saw himself in a different way and did not treat others the way he had was treated before he met Jesus. What about us? Are we treating others the same way they treated us before we met Him? Are we not still grateful for what He has done for us? This guys life was changed forever. Never to be the same again. I hope that his life went on professing Jesus as Lord and not fall into the trap of the world where it only lasts for a little while then it's forgotten. We have all been given a miracle in our lives. We have all been healed of a disease of some kind. Why are we not screaming His name from the mountain tops or in the workplace or the home? Have we forgotten what was done for us or is it just that we want more than where we are today? I doubt that the leper went on to be a millionaire or very successful in his life, more than he was that day. But I would be willing to bet he lived a happier life than many of us will ever know. We have to find the root of our gratitude for what's been done for us. Never let it go and never forget it. Keep it in the front of our daily lives and see just how happy you really are from now on. In love always. <><
