31st. THOUGHT
THE time for the evening meal had passed and the crowd that had been so ready to partake of spiritual food became aware of a physical hunger. When the disciples took the problem to Jesus, they instinctively knew that He would be able to help and were dis mayed when He asked them to feed the multitude, from their own resources.

That crowd contained many , who had brought a little food with them, but were too selfish to think of sharing what they had, until Jesus persuaded them to follow the lad’s generous example. When they did even tually share, it was found that, between them, they had enough and to spare.

Jesus needs our help, yours and mine, to enable Him to do His work of love in the lives of the needy. He could not do this work without the co-operation of such disciples and it is our privilege to be His helpers. He says to us: “Come to me as you are. Bring to me
what you can, however little, and I will use it greatly in service for the needy.” Do not forget, little is always much in the hands of
Christ. Remember, your love and mine can be used by Jesus to the best advantage. Some folks are unwitting carriers of disease. May we, in a more blessed way, be carriers of God’s love, to give, give and give again what God has given to us.
