Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” Question God, remind me of a relief you've brought to me. How can this deepen my awareness and my gratitude for you?  Quick Links 📘 The Captivated Playbook: How to Experience and Enjoy Reading the Bible 📱 Send Jen a text – Questions or prayer requests?

John 15:4–5  "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,  unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.  I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him,  he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
