Offer What You Have!

John 6:9

“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?”

These are the words of the apostle Andrew, minutes before Jesus took that seemingly measly gift and used it to feed 5,000 people. Today, we still look at our gifts and ask, “What are they among so many?” Humanly speaking, our gifts are still measly. But with God, our gifts can be multiplied to feed a whole world. The Eucharist feeds a billion people every day. It began as a single loaf at the Last Supper. What do you have to offer today? Even if it seems like a little, offer it. You may well be amazed to look back one day and see how your offering has been multiplied beyond your wildest dreams.
