1 John 4:7-10 / Mark 6:34-44
Something like 40 years ago, a middle-aged woman walked into the slums of a large city.
She had an equivalent of about US$2 in her hand.
But she had no income, no job and no place to stay.
All she had was the conviction that God wanted her to help the poor, the destitute and the dying.
That was 40 years ago.
Today, the late Mother Teresa had set up something like 80 schools, 70 leprosy clinics, 30 homes for abandoned children, 300 mobile dispensary units and there are about 40,000 volunteers continuing her work all over the world.
Those figures are staggering, considering what she had started with.
She not only gave the US$2 in her hand to Jesus, she also gave Jesus her whole heart, her trust and her love.
Jesus can do marvels and wonders with whatever little we had to offer Him.
Even with five loaves and two fish, He can feed five thousand people.
That is who Jesus is and what He can do. Over and above everything else, He came to save us and give us eternal life.
Let us have faith in Jesus and love Him and we will see the marvels and wonders He will do for us.
