The Bible showed us how important expressing our gratitude is and that it matters to God. In the story of the ten lepers whom Jesus Christ healed, only one came back to express his gratitude to the Lord. Jesus asked where the other was (see Luke 17:11-19).
God expects us to express gratitude to Him and those around us. It doesn’t just bring healing but also makes one whole and complete in Christ.
