<center>John 6:12-13 (NIV)</center>
<center>*" When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten."*</center>



Why    did    Jesus   Christ   asked    his  Disciples   to   gather   the  scraps   or  leftover?  At     times   scraps   of   items    are    left  unimportant,  meanwhile  they  can   be   used,   if   put   them    together  they  can   become  a  whole   or  complete  which   can  be  beneficial    to  others  who  don't   have.


During    my   young   age,    we   were   having    some    pieces   of   clothings  that  are    left over    when   the  clothes   were  sown. Those  pieces   of   clothes   were joined   together   to  become  a  complete   shirts  or  shorts  for  wearing.   So,  seamtresses   and  tailors  didn't   ignore  them  because  they   were  pieces  but   kept  them   for  future  use.


That's   how  life  is,  what   is  rejected might   become   relevant    in  future.   Things  that  we  don't   take   delight   of  using  because  you   feel    they   are  scraps,   may   be  important   items one day,   you   will  trace   them   to    use,   but   you    wouldn't   get   them.



In     life,    so   many   things    are   considered   to   be  scraps,   so   we  discriminate  them   and  reject  them  in  life.   We    have     rejected   so  many   people   in  life,  because   maybe  we  feel  they   are  wretched   so   they    can't  offer  us  help today,  but  I tell  you,  those  people   have  bright  future   that can put  up   great  things.   We  have rejected  widows   and orphans  since  they   have not  parents   to   help them,  we  thing that  they  are  scraps.   But the   Scripture  says  that   we  should  take  care of them, watch  them   and feed them.


Let's   remember   to   gather   the  scraps  in  life. Let's  be  conscious   to  the  scraps  maybe  if  they   are  assembled,  they   can be made   into  whole  that  can solve our problems.
