Read: John 6:1–15
Imagine being the little boy in this story about Jesus. You give your lunch to Jesus and then watch Him take your lunch and feed thousands of people. That must have been a crazy and amazing experience.
Jesus took the small amount of food and did something incredible with it. Jesus has not changed. When we give what we have to Jesus and allow Him to use it, He is able to do amazing things. It may sometimes seem like we don’t have a lot to give, but when we are open to allowing God to use what we do have, He can do more than we ever could imagine.
