Imagine Jesus standing in front of a huge crowd with only 5 loaves and 2 fishes.

It wasn’t enough to feed the crowd!

But then… it was.

It was enough.

Actually, it wasn’t even just “enough”.

“Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.” (John 6:13)

It was MORE than enough!

There were baskets full of pieces that were leftover.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t enough? Or that you weren’t doing enough?

There are way too many things that I feel like I’m “supposed” to be doing.

And I’m not doing anything really well.

From parenting, to being a good friend, to fulfilling my calling, to keeping an organized home…

I don’t feel like I’m doing enough.

But the 5 loaves of bread and the 2 fish were never meant to be enough to feed the crowd all on their own.

They needed Jesus to fulfill their purpose.

And we do, too.

We can remember Jesus, think of Him, pray often, read His words, and do as He would do.

Every time I try to do this again, I remember I don’t have to do everything all on my own.

I will never “be enough” or “do enough” with my own merits.

I need Him.

I need someone to multiply my efforts until they don’t just become exactly what is needed.

They become more than what is needed.

With Jesus, you are more than enough.

Happy Studying!
