📖 Luke 17:15–16 (NIV)
“One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him — and he was a Samaritan.”
💭 Thought for the Day
Great leaders aren’t marked by talent, titles, or applause — they’re marked by gratitude.
The healed Samaritan teaches us that thanksgiving is more than polite manners; it is leadership DNA.
He noticed what God had done.
He refused to take grace for granted.
He came back with praise, not excuses.
And Jesus honored that posture with deeper blessing.
Students and teachers:
Gratitude opens doors that ability alone will never unlock. It sharpens your character, softens your heart, and sets you apart from the crowd. Today, choose to be the one who returns — the one who sees God’s goodness and responds with thanks.
Ask God:
“Make me the kind of leader who never forgets to come back and say thank You.”
