#what is Igratitude
Ingratitude can be describe as the state of being ungrateful .
Often times in academia, Gratitude has a different meaning within positive psychology than what it mean in everyday life.Gratitude is a positive emotion, which is really important because it serves a purpose
Gratitude is a selfless act. Gratitude acts are done unconditionally to show that people that they are appreciated, not because people are looking for something in return; however, that is not to say that people do not return the favor. Gratitude can be contagious, in a good way

##The sin of ingratitude
One of the greatest sins of which the inhabitants of the earth are guilty today is the sin of ingratitude

The first chapter in Quran starts with the word ‘Alhamdulillah’ which translates into ‘all praise is for God’. Muslims often respond with ‘Alhamdulilah’ when asked how they are, to be grateful for all they have in life. “If you are grateful, I will certainly give your more” (14:7)

The concept of thankfulness in the New Testament comes from the use of two Greek words. The first is charizomai, which means ‘grace’. The second is homologeo, ‘to confess, acknowledge’, (Heb. 13:15). “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”(Thessalonians 5:18).

###The power of gratitude in A spiritual Life
Do you know for we to Attract God's Grace, we need to be very grateful to God

According to St Ignatius of Loyola
“It seems to me, in light of the divine Goodness, …that ingratitude is one of the things most worthy of detestation before our Creator and Lord, and before all creatures capable of divine and everlasting glory, out of all the evil and sins which can be imagined. For it is the failure to recognize the good things, the graces, and the gifts received. As such, it is the cause, beginning, and origin of all evil and sins” (cited and referenced in Consoling the Heart of Jesus, page 421).

It’s almost unbelievable that Jesus heals 10 lepers in Luke 17 simultaneously. Without fanfare, He simply commands the motley crew, “Go, Go shew yourselves unto the priests.” They exit stage-left and their skin is restored.

Jesus certainly missed an opportunity there to make a big, impressive scene. The Lord was never concerned with aggrandizement. What was unbelievable to Him, however, was the lack of gratitude from the former lepers. Only one makes a U-turn to thank Him for His tremendous miracle.

ONLY ONE!!!!! 

As the Bible records, “ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.” (v. 15-16).

Jesus was shocked and asked, “Were not 10 cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

It was so unfortunate that that 90 percent of the lepers missed the second blessing , very important gift Jesus had planned for them. To the lone, grateful Samaritan He responded, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” Even more important than physical health, this person’s spiritual life had been restored.
