TEXT: Luke 17:12-19 (KJV)
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

The personality of our Lord is one awesome
personality that is just too amazing beyond comprehension. He is the only one
who has been able to combine perfectly the nature of a Lion and a Lamb. When he
is needed to handle a battle the Lion in him will roar out and when he is
needed to help feeble man the Lamb in him will gloriously manifest.
Unfortunately many Christians do not know how to make use of this to their
advantage. They may have worked so hard to get certain progress in life but in
one moment of unguarded reaction they will destroy all they have been working
so hard to build. This is often due to their inability to walk in the attitude
of gratitude. One who truly acknowledges the grace of God upon his life will be
careful not to ruin everything the Lord has enable him to build or
accomplish.
Those who
cherish and celebrates the opportunity to partake in the Lion and the lamb
nature would often behave themselves wisely. They know how to make friends, get
access to important people and places and are very careful to maintain the
protocol and keep the assess open because they know how to respect
relationship. They celebrate and cherish assess to dignitaries. Examine
yourself to be sure you are not the problem of your destiny and thank God for
his grace.
