I have good news today. The good news comes from Luke 17: 15-17, which tell about Jesus healing the ten lepers. Verse 16, tells how only one of them turned back to give thanks. In verse 17, Jesus asks, "Where are the nine?"
As you know, February is Black History Month, and every year we hear about great Black people across the diaspora. There have been so many great Blacks in our history here in America. Great people like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and George Washington Carver, are just to name a few. But more importantly, there have been great people throughout man's history which transcends race.
Today, I want to encourage my readers with this statement...You don't have to be popular or a celebrity to be GREAT! Maybe we all can't be great, but we all can be grateful. Because being great is about what you do! But being grateful is how you act toward what you do or what others do for you. . God will make our names great when we're grateful. So today...you don't have to be the best, just do your best in being grateful. Have the attitude of gratitude. Amen.
