The King Of Fruits

READ: Luke 19:12-26

Present your bodies a living sacrifice, . . . which is your reasonable service. —Romans 12:1

The durian, a tropical fruit, is often called The King of Fruits. Either you love it or you hate it. Those who love it will do almost anything to get it. Those who hate it won’t get near it because of its pungent smell. My wife loves it. Recently, a friend, who was grateful for what my wife had done for her, sent her a box of the finest quality durians. She took great pains to ensure that they were the best.

I asked myself, “If we can give the best to a friend, how can we do less for our Lord who gave His very life for us?”

The nobleman in Jesus’ parable in Luke 19 wanted the best from 10 servants to whom he gave money, saying, “Do business till I come” (v.13). When he returned and asked for an account, he gave the same commendation “Well done!” to all those who had done what they could with the money entrusted to them. But he called “wicked” (v.22) the one who did nothing with his money.

The primary meaning of this story is stewardship of what we’ve been given. To be faithful with what God has given to us is to give Him our best in return. As the master gave money to the servants in the parable, so God has given us gifts to serve Him. It is we who will lose out if we fail to give Him our best.

Give of your best to the Master,
Give Him first place in your heart;
Give Him first place in your service,
Consecrate every part. —Grose

We are at our best when we serve God by serving others.

Bible in One Year: Amos 7-9; Revelation 8

Thanks very much, Connie! *HUGS* The knee is ever so slightly improved today. However, I had to postpone the appointment with the Orthopod due to my mother-in-law's funeral.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

I’ll never forget the Christmas when Sonboy (2 yrs) decided the thing to do was sit on presents.

He wouldn’t crush them but I wondered if it was a way of claiming territory. LOL

Drove my elder brother crazy!

A sweet memory for me.:)

[mylife]

Great thread, Connie! Pretty, clever and yummy! :D

Thanks for all your hard work!

[AZamericonnie]

I do so hope it improves daily & no invasive intervention is involved.

Prayers & heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother-in-law.

Give your lovely wife a hug for me will you?
