Day 5: Hope to Give
Scripture: Luke 17:17–19
“Jesus asked, ‘Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?’ Then he said to him, ‘Rise and go; your faith has made you well.’”
Devotional Thought:
The story reminds us that hope is not just received—it’s shared. The healed Samaritan not only received physical healing but spiritual salvation. God desires that our gratitude and faith touch others, showing hope to those who feel outcast or unseen.
As you go about your week, remember that you carry hope to the lonely, the rejected, and the forgotten. Your faith, praise, and compassion can be the bridge to healing and restoration for others.
Reflection Question:
Who can you bring hope to this week? How can your actions reflect the love of Jesus to those society avoids?
Challenge:
Reach out to someone who feels isolated or overlooked this week. It could be a visit, a phone call, a meal, or a note of encouragement. Be the hope and presence of Jesus in their life.
Prayer:
Lord, use me as a vessel of hope for the outcast. Let my life point others to You, showing mercy, compassion, and faith. Amen.
