Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?” This question calls us to reflect on gratitude, recognizing that true healing is more than physical, it touches both flesh and spirit. If we get healing in the spirit we will know just like the leper who went back to thank God.
The leper who returned may have sensed that Jesus wasn’t just a healer but the Son of God, capable of healing both body and soul. He felt that healing beyond his leprosy.
This passage also speaks to our dual nature: we are beings of flesh and spirit, needing more than physical healing alone. Our lives are filled with daily blessings, some of which we overlook or take for granted. Just waking up alone in the morning is more than a miracle. This is why, even on days off or when it's easier to just stay comfortable in bed, I find it essential to go to church, to take time to connect with my faith community and give thanks, and to also recognize Jesus as Lord. In doing so, I acknowledge His place in my life as more than just a helper but as Christ the King.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, I share these with hopes to encourage us all to pause and reflect on our lives. Life is fleeting, filled with temporary joys and challenges, but God’s presence endures forever. For us spending time in gratitude and reflection opens our hearts to what truly matters, offering peace that transcends and touches our spirits.
God bless you, and I remain your pal,
Ronnie
