Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
John 6:8-9 (NIV)
There are days when I feel I have nothing left to give, Lord. To my family, my friends, or to You. And yet I am reminded of the story of a child who offered You his five small barley loaves and two small fish to help feed the great crowd who came to see You, Jesus. You could have fed them that day without any offering, and yet You chose to receive this boy’s meager gift and intertwine it with Your Divine miracle.
I too have little to offer. And yet. You are God. And I am willing to give what I have. So let us begin, Lord.
Questions for Pondering…
As I read this whole tender and miraculous story in John 6, what is my favorite part and why?
Why does God choose to intimately draw us into His plans?
