I am the Bread of
Life!
There is a real danger in miracles that stand-alone. God may become a sort of valet to a self
centered, self-made person that is able to use God to achieve a goal. By that I mean if a person is only focused on
the achievement or the outcome there is no real sense of Awe in the majesty and
Love that God has for us.
In today’s gospel there are hungry people that have come to
see Jesus and there is no McDonalds around to get food for the ride home. Jesus takes a small amount of food and then
we hear that there were 12 baskets left over, a universal number, that means
there is enough of Him to feed the whole world.
We need to be aware of our prayer life. We need to be aware of the times when things
are going so swimmingly that we might forget how and why we have gotten to the place
that we are at in life.
When times are tough we may run to church or plead with
Jesus for a miracle, and that’s not a bad thing if we recognize that Jesus is
with us in all moments in our life and deserves our praise at all times.
Take the worst moment in your life and see Jesus standing
there with you, not as a bellboy, but as a friend and shepherd that will guide
you through it and bring you out in a better place.
I am the Bread of Life means just that, He will sustain us
on our journey. I have found that when I
am doing the best in my life it usually means the devil is right around the
corner testing my love for God.
The most important thing I can tell you is this; in all
moments give glory to the One that gave us life and will give us life forever!
Jesus, take my soul, my life and fashion it that there may
be enough for the whole world.
