Sometimes it’s all just loaves and fishes. The most we have to bring is less than the bare minimum needed. But it’s what we’ve got.
The good news is that God is a God of miracles and multiplication. In giving away the little we have, more is received.
The further good news is that even in the breaking apart of our lives, given away in obedience to God and in service of others, we hear Jesus say, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” (John 6:12)
We may have little more than loaves and fishes, we may be broken and inadequate, but every crumb is precious and accounted for. Even our leftovers are raw ingredients for the glory of God and the well-being of people.
