CHILDLIKE FAITH

We all know the story of Jesus feeding five thousand people with only five loaves and two fish. A little boy gave Jesus all he had so that Jesus could feed everyone who had come to hear Him preach. Believe it or not, you too have loaves and fishes the Lord wants to transform.

We can believe God for the impossible just as that boy did. Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it” (Luke 18:17). If you were to ask a grown man or woman whether it would be possible to feed five thousand men, plus women and children, with only two small fish and five barley loaves, they would tell you it is impossible. And they would be right. It is impossible, and that is precisely why we call it a miracle.

As the boy gave to Jesus, give Jesus your life, your family, and your vision for the future with no strings attached, and He will give it back to you “pressed down, shaken together, and running over”.

Lord, thank You for the “loaves” I have in my possession. I wholeheartedly give them back to You, and I can’t wait to see what You’ll do with them. Amen.
