What Do You Have?

There are many things we can often complain about when it comes to not having enough of something. We can often compare to another what they have and what we don’t have. It can go something like this… “I don’t have the fanciest car like so and so. I wish I had the new gaming system like my friend. My house isn’t as nice as some friends I know who have so much stuff it makes their house look better than mine.” Let me ask you something, do you have a car to drive or any kind of transportation? If the answer is “yes,” then make good with what you have. Do you have a gaming system even if it’s not the trend now? If “yes” make good with what you have. Do you have a house or at least a roof over your head? Don’t complain ecause so and so has something better. She had to work hard for what she has. None know what you have been through and noone ever will. Jesus knows and if we put our faith and trust in him, he can turn the little that we have and make it more.

“When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Matthew 14:13-21

If Jesus can take the little that they had and multiply it to feed 5,000 men, women and children. How much more will he multiply the little you have if you believe and have faith?
