“Dili ba napulo man ang nangahinlo? Hain na ang laing siyam? Wala bay mibalik aron magpasalamat sa Diyos gawas niining langyaw?” Luke 17:17-18
Gisulti kini ni Jesus human Niya ayohon ang napulo ka sanlahon ug usa lamang kanila, usa ka langyaw, ang mibalik kang Jesus aron magpasalamat Kaniya. Napulo ang naayo sa ilang sanla sa lawas apan usa lamang ang nakadawat ug mas lawom nga kaayohan. Sa iyang pagbalik kang Jesus uban sa mapasalamatong kasingkasing, giingnan siya ni Jesus, “Tindog ug lakaw; ang imong pagtuo nakaluwas kanimo” (Luke 17:19).
Only this one leper, the one who returned with a grateful heart, heard our Lord speak these words: “Your faith has saved you.” This reveals that gratitude to God is not only our duty, it also brings forth manifest blessings in our lives. When we sincerely offer thanks to God for all that He has done, we are manifesting great faith in God as a result. We are pointing to Him and His goodness as the source of our blessings and it takes faith to see this and to profess it.
What is it for which you need to grow in gratitude in your life? What is it that you may take for granted and have failed to properly return to God and thank Him for? The truth is that everything in life is a gift. Everything. Even the struggles you endure can be turned into blessings. In fact, that’s exactly what happened in this story. The awful suffering of leprosy was turned into a grace from God.
Pamalandongi karong adlawa ang tanan nga nabuhat sa Diyos alang kanimo. Pag-ampo nga masabtan nimo ang tanang dili maihap nga mga paagi sa paghatag sa Diyos ug grasya sa imong kinabuhi. Samtang makita nimo kini, pamalandongi kadtong mga panalangin, ihapa kini ug pagmapasalamaton tungod niini. Ug gikan nianang pagkamapasalamaton, balosi ang Diyos ug malipayong pagpasalamat. Pinaagi nianang buhata, ang imong pagtuo makaluwas usab kanimo.
Lord, I do thank You for the countless blessings that You have bestowed upon me throughout my life. I thank You for the ways in which You have graced me, led me and healed me. Help me to see clearly all that You have done and continue to do for me. As I see these blessings, help me to daily express my gratitude in faith. Jesus, I trust in You.
