FAITH IN GOD CAN HEAL. It is easier to trust in self and one’s will power than to trust in God. ALL IS GIFT, both sickness and health. We thank God for his blessings. In sickness we can say “THE LORD HAS GIVEN, THE LORD HAS TAKEN, blessed by the Lord.” In all things we can give glory to God.

Ten lepers came to Jesus. He told them to go the the local priest. On the way they were all healed. Their faith saved them. Only one came back to give thanks, but all were healed by the power of God.
