April 16, 2023: You Can Do This - Michael Hidalgo

There is a key line in the story of Jesus feeding 5,000+ people. “You give them something to eat.” Of course, the dumbfounded disciples point out the obvious. They barely have enough for five people, let alone 5,000. This is of no consequence to Jesus, he asks them to bring what they have - five loaves and two fish. And then, the disciples give the people something to eat.

There are several miracles unfolding in this story, including the way the food was distributed - by the hands of the disciples. How often do we think we don’t have enough? How often do we think we are not enough? Maybe, we only need to bring what we do have to Jesus, so that, like the disciples, we may find we have everything we need to serve others.
