Matthew 8v1-4

Heavenly father
give us grace to dare to put our hopes into words and listen to your response

¹ When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 
² Behold, a leper came to him and worshipped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

³ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” 
Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 
⁴ Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest,
and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

[While there is a time for telling other people - there is a time for savouring and giving thanks for our encounters with God on our own]
