One of my devotionals today was about leftovers and how the writer said that it would speak a lot about her feelings about her friends if she were to serve them leftovers thrown together for a meal instead of preparing something special for them. Of course the analogy was to how we treat God—do we give him our leftovers or do we give him our best. It made me think about that little mental picture and I must say that while I understood the meaning of what the writer was speaking about I also think that there is another side. If my best friends came over I think they would be fine with leftovers—-after all it isn’t really the food that they were probably after but the fellowship. And in any close relationship there should be that comfort level where you are accepted for who you are and where you are at in that particular time in life. Leftovers sometimes are better than the real thing in my humble opinion! Things like lasagna and potato soup always taste better to me when they are reheated! And nothing beats cold leftover fried macaroni and cheese—a Grandma Bonnie creation! So while I understood the point that the writer was trying to get across I think that I would argue against it and say that God would lovingly accept our leftovers if that is all that we had to offer that day. He just wants a relationship with us and I think that the leftovers may be all that I have to offer Him on some days.
