Luke 17:11-19

Gratitude is the appreciation and thankfulness we feel when someone does something kind to us or for us. There are two key factors that influence the intensity of gratitude. First, there is the deservedness factor. Second, there is the generosity factor.

Apply this to God. Consider the deservedness factor. What does God owe us? How deserving are we of his blessing? Consider the generosity factor. What has he done for us? What blessings has he given us now? What blessings has he promised us in eternity?

As Jesus increases our faith, so that we accurately answer all those questions, we become more than grateful. We overflow with gratitude.
