Enough

Kaedyn was reading the story to me where a small boy willingly gave Jesus all that he had, two fish and five loaves could not feed five thousand men. Jesus accepted it joyfully.

Jesus looked up to heaven and blessed it, broke it, and gave it to the disciples to hand out. Jesus performed the miracle of enough...and twelve baskets of more than enough..

Jesus takes what seems not quite good enough and works miracles that I cannot imagine. It is not up to me to make things work; it is up to Him. When I admit that I'm less than enough, then He has an opportunity to be more than enough. Isn't it interesting that as He broke the bread, it multiplied.

I need to remember that sometimes when things seem to be breaking, that is because Jesus wants me to see that He is more than enough for every need.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work
2 Corinthians 9:7-8

Very good post this morning. I always need to trust Him more, and me less, and He will work miracles for me.

Enough! Our portion is enough! I think of the kids of today and how for many of them-enough is never enough---and that goes right over into the adult world, too....one of wanting more and more and more.

Hope you have a peaceful, blessed night, Karen. xo Diana

A lovely post, Karen. I've always liked the "fish and loaves" story. I actually just saw it on tv recently.

Have a blessed week coming up.
