Cleansed and Grateful
Does my cleansed and grateful life bear witness to what God has done in me? If my life isn't cleansed and grateful, what needs to change? Like the leper, am I coming to Jesus in full humility desperate for His life-changing power in my life?
If I'm honest, most the time I want just a little Jesus. My heart is buried in self sufficiency and independence.... like a toddler, I assert "I do it!" rather than falling to my knees like this leper, asserting "you do it!"
If I want my life to bear witness to God's power, I need to a) submit to His healing and allow Him to cleanse me from all that separates me from Him and others and b) never forget the isolated, lonely and hopeless life He saved me from, thus remaining grateful.
