Loose Change.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Loose Change. We give school so much of our day. We give the job so much of our day. We give friends so much of our day. We give Facebook so much of our day. We give the TV so much of our day. We give food so much of our day. And when it’s all said and done, all that’s left is loose change.
That’s what we offer to God. Isn’t that a tragedy?
Let’s reverse this story…
He gave school so much of Himself. He gave the job so much of Himself. He gave friends so much of Himself. He gave Facebook so much of Himself. He gave the TV so much of Himself. He gave food so much of Himself. And when it was all said and done, all that was left was loose change.
That’s what He offered to us. But we know better, right?
It’s absurd to read that last paragraph. We know it’s an outright lie. God didn’t just give us what was left after everything else, He gave us His Best. He gave us Jesus, His one and only begotten Son. And He gave Him to us in the way that was necessary to redeem us, even though it required tremendous sacrifice.
So why do we find ourselves simply bringing Him what’s left with our lives – our leftovers? Is that all He deserves?
Join me in asking two questions of ourselves this morning, would you? 1. How big is my God? And 2. What does He deserve from me?
Now answer those two questions with more than words. Answer those two questions with your life and the way it is lived today.



That’s just a thought, and I welcome yours.
Until next time,
