On Becoming Whole

My daughter Jessica sent me a gratitude journal.  It was accompanied with a note card containing this message from the scripture story of the 10 lepers:  "And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks and he was a Samaritan.  And Jesus answering said, "Were there not ten cleansed but where are the nine?"  There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.  And he said unto him, "Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole."  Jessica then taught me that Christ makes a point of the difference between healing and wholeness.  All ten were healed.  Only one was made whole.  It was his own actions that brought about his "wholeness".   1)  Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and  2)  Gratitude---particularly the expression of gratitude.   Thank you Jessica!!!!!!
