"On the way to Jerusalem, JESUS was passing along the border between Samaria and Galilee, and as HE entered a village, ten lepers came to meet HIM. Keeping their distance, they called to HIM, 'JESUS, Master, have pity on us!' Then JESUS said to them, 'Go and show yourselves to the priests.' Now, as they went their way, they found they were cured. One of them, as soon as he saw he was cleansed, turned back praising GOD in a loud voice, and throwing himself on his face before JESUS, he gave HIM thanks. This man was a Samaritan.
Then JESUS said, 'Were not all ten healed?' Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to GOD but this alien? And JESUS said to him, 'Stand up and go your way; your faith has saved you'." - Luke 17:11-19
(The ten lepers were cured but only one of them was told: "Your faith has saved you. He was the one who responded straight from the heart. While the others were concerned about fulfilling the legal requirements, he only thought about giving thanks to GOD right where the grace of GOD found him: such is the faith which saves and transforms us.
Among the many people asking GOD for healing and favor, how many will really come to love GOD?)
