Leftovers
I have been reading the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan lately. I have enjoyed most of the book, but one chapter has been in mind the past few days. The Chapter is about giving God our leftovers as opposed to being full out on fire for him. He mentions a quote by John Piper where Piper asks if we could have heaven and everything that comes with it, the only thing missing being Christ, would we take it. I really started thinking about this. Am I a Christian because of what i get in heaven? If I knew I could have heaven and all of its perks without Christ would I take it? I think believers have came to the point where many of us might say yea I think I would take that deal. I have become so convicted by this thought the past few days. My relationship with God is not where I want it to be. I want to be so in love with Jesus and have such a good relationship with HIM that I would be driven not by the future treasures I will receive in heaven, buy by my relationship with the one who made those treasures attainable.
