Start With What You Have

In John 6 Verse 5: Andrew found a boy who had a small lunch, and brought the boy to Jesus.

He is a story of giving what you have to Jesus. Jesus took the small lunch, blessed it, and shared it. The miracle of multiplication was in His hands.

Little is much if Our Lord and Our Friend is in it. Jesus broke the bread and gave the pieces to the disciples, and they in turn fed it to the multitude. Lesson give Jesus what we have.

The disciples had the people sit down as Jesus requested. They took broken pieces and distributed them, and discovered that there was plenty for everyone. As His servants, we are distributors, not manufacturers. If we give what we have to Our Lord and Our Friend, He will bless it and give back to us for use, in feeding others Lesson be willing to obey.

The left overs were twelve baskets filled with pieces of bread and fish after the people had eaten all they wanted. But these pieces were carefully collected so that nothing was wasted. You can wonder how many pieces the boy took home and what a story he had to tell his family. Lesson don’t be wasteful what what God gives to us to share.

We might not think we have much to give, when we see the enormous needs around, but remember God made the world out of nothing, and He gave us everything we need, if we trust Him and seek after Him.

God Bless.
