Read John 4-6
John 6:9 says, "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?" I’ve heard of communities that come together to bake the world’s largest loaf of bread. Five of those loaves and two whales might have been enough for that many people to each get a bite of food. But he couldn’t have carried all that too easily. He had enough for himself, maybe to last all day.
But he gave the disciples his lunch, never allowing its insufficiency to keep him from sharing it. And while the disciples complained, they took the food the boy offered, despite the fact that it was too little to be of any use.
Than the miracle happened. Over five thousand people ate and had plenty. There were even leftovers. When we give what we have to the Lord, He accepts it and makes our little bit into something useful.
