Jesus Multiplies Our Gifts to Feed the Multitudes

When Jesus said to his disciples, "You give them something to eat," he meant business. He knew that they had only five loaves of bread and two fish, but he also knew that with him, all things are possible.

Jesus is bigger than our thoughts and our fears. He is bigger than our limitations and our circumstances. He is the God of the impossible.

All that he asks for is our availability. When we come to him with what we have, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, he will multiply it and use it to feed the multitudes.

He can make our voices big and colorful, so that we can win souls for him. He can touch our lips with what to say, so that we can minister to others with power and authority.

He can make us big-time ministers, that a lot will cheer and adore for his name sake. All we need to do is tell him that we are ready, and he will make it up to us big time.

He can make our giving big, so that we can bless others in ways that we never thought possible. He can make us known to the world without our having to compromise our values or our beliefs.

He can make our cooking extraordinary, so that we can feed people with more than just food. We can feed them with hope, with love, and with the joy of the Lord.

So don't think that Jesus can't help you. He is bigger than what you think and what you have, and how people see you to be. Just tell Jesus about it, and he will put a smile on your face. He is always on time.

Balancing work, personal lives, and household responsibilities can leave little room for open and honest communication about their well-being. This disconnect can contribute to children feeling unheard and resorting to secrecy. With busy schedules and demanding responsibilities, it can be easy for parents to feel stretched thin. But amidst the chaos, finding moments to connect with our children about their well-being is crucial.  When communication is lacking, it's natural for children to turn inwards and seek their own answers, often leading to hidden struggles. Remembering that caring for our children isn't a burden, but an investment in their happiness and safety, can shift our perspective. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, let's prioritize small moments of connection - a quick dinner conversation, a shared walk in the park, or simply listening with open ears. These simple acts of ...

The Power of Mindset: Overcoming Adversity and Proving Your Worth

Image
In a world that relentlessly seeks to categorize and label us, it's easy to succumb to external perceptions and limitations. However, the stories of those who have defied expectations and risen above adversity serve as a powerful reminder that our true potential lies within ourselves. George McLaurin, the first Black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948, exemplifies this indomitable spirit. Despite facing segregation and isolation or being forced to sit in a corner away from his white classmates, ignored by teachers, and treated as an outsider.  Yet, he persevered, fueled by an unwavering belief in his own abilities and a deep commitment to his education. He dedicated himself to his studies, seeking out additional support when necessary, and eventually earned the respect of his peers and professors. Upon everything, he strived, graduating as one of the top three students in his class.  His legacy reminds us that our worth is not determined by the opinions or acti...
