He Will Make it More

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus took the loaves;
and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down... When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing
be lost. 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 6:9-13

I have always been amazed at the account of the young boy who so
willingly gave up his food to feed the multitude. What was his story?
Why was he there with that food? Whatever it was, as the evening
approached and the crowd hungered, he offered all he had. Surely he
must have known that his meager contribution was not enough, but
what a miracle he beheld when the Savior made it enough and more.
Sometimes our gifts seem small, but let us always remember that He
will make it more. ~ Simon Dewey
