Give of Your Best
 
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you
have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)
 
I read that on one occasion when visiting Scotland, Queen Mary "was
strolling with a group of children. Suddenly the sky turned gray and thick
and dark clouds appeared. The queen stopped at a nearby house and asked if
she might borrow an umbrella. She told the lady of the house, 'I'll send it
back to you tomorrow.' The lady was understandably reluctant about lending a
good umbrella to a total stranger, but she remembered that she had an old
one in the attic. One rib was broken and there were several ragged holes in
it, but she nevertheless, turned it over to this lady at her front door with
a weak apology."

"The next day there was another knock at the door. This time, when she
opened it, a man in gold braid stood with a big envelope in his hand. 'The
queen sent me,' he said, 'and asked me to thank you for the umbrella.'"

Can you imagine how this woman must have felt knowing she gave the Queen a
broken umbrella and didn't give her best.

For those of us who claim to be Christians I wonder how we will feel at the
end of life's journey when we stand face to face with Jesus to give account
of our stewardship and realize that we didn't give God our best - but only
our broken "unwanteds."

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, in my service to you please help me always to
give of my best so that when I stand before you face to face, I will not be
ashamed or embarrassed. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer.
Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."
