Disciples of Christ

Today's musing is an adapted, paraphrased version of an illustration Fred Craddock often used to explain what it means to give your life fully to Christ.
We think giving our all to God is like dropping a one thousand-
The reality is more like the Lord sending us to the bank and having us exchange the $1000 bill for 4000 quarters.
And then we go through life giving away 25 cents here and 50 cents there, in his service.
Like when we help a neighbor in need. Or minister to someone who is lonely. Or offer a word of encouragement. Or prepare a meal for a friend. Or serve on a committee at church.
Giving your all to God isn't as flashy as one might think. It's done in all these little acts of love, 25 cents at a time.
It would be comparatively easy to go out in a flash of glory. Much more difficult is to live the Christian life little-
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)
