Today I was thinking about the ten lepers, and about "nice thoughts."
There are so many "nice thoughts" that come into my head every day. Thoughts about helping others, about saying nice things, about doing the dishes...but most of those thoughts are never translated into actions.
What if that had happened with the ten lepers?
What if that's the reason the nine just walked away? What if they thought, " I should really thank Him," but then reconsidered, figuring that "someone else will do it," and just walked away. What if the one had done that?
We need to be the one that takes that nice thought, and changes it into action. Nice thoughts don't earn salvation. Righteous actions do.
