In Luke 17 Yeshua heals the 10 lepers and only one leper came back and thanked Yeshua. Yeshua healed people even if He is not thanked. He did not remove their healing, in their unthankful moment then and He does not operate that way today either.
He loves us in spite of our failings and short comings. He loves us before we recognize things we need to grow and mature in. His desire is to reveal to us His great love. His love is not dependent upon anything we do or do not do. His love is always there and at some point in our lives we recognize who He is and love Him back. In the relationship of His love, we will recognize the areas of our lives that need to change. His mercy and compassion always TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT. He is never harsh to His children(us). Thus, we should never be harsh to each other. Yeshua was/is the Son of God, but His mercy and compassion toward all people is what established His authority

Here is the story;
11As He went on His way to Jerusalem, it occurred that [Jesus] was passing [along the border] between Samaria and Galilee.
12And as He was going into one village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance.
13And they raised up their voices and called, Jesus, Master, take pity and have mercy on us!
14And when He saw them, He said to them, Go [at once] and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cured and made clean.
15Then one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, [c]recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice;
16And he fell prostrate at Jesus' feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan.
17Then Jesus asked, Were not [all] ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18Was there no one found to return and to [d]recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien?
19And He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.

Lord,
may we give you thanks every day for your great love, compassion and all that you provide for us, in every way, every day. May we choose to have an attitude of thanksgiving in every situation. May we know you, as you have first loved us. Thank you Lord for loving us first. Amen
