Show Notes

Do you like leftovers? I love them. I would prefer to take leftovers as my lunch over a sandwich any day! When I was growing up, I remember my grandmother would designate one day of the week to have must-go casserole for supper. That meant that she would take all the leftovers from the week before and make some sort of casseroleit was always something unique. Ultimately, I'm thankful for leftovers because it means that my family has more than enough to eat. The amazing thing about today's Scripture passage is that there were leftovers. Jesus was feeding over five thousand people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. There shouldn't have been any leftovers at all. In fact, there should have been several thousand people who didn't get anything to eat. Instead, there ended up being more food than what Jesus started out withthat day was overflowing with leftovers. God can do that in the lives of His people too. He can take a sinner who has lots of bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness and fill them with His overflowing loveso much so that they have leftover love to give to others. In Christ, we can share His leftover love in any situation, showing the good news of Jesus through our words and actions. • Melissa Yeagle Why should we show love to others (1 John 4:19)? Has anyone in your life shown God's love to you? How can you show God's love to others in your life? If you have questions about God's love for you, who is a trusted Christian in your life you can talk with? Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7 (CSB) Read Verses: Luke 9:10-17
