today i will

Today I will believe that I am significant

The Bible doesn’t tell us his name, how old he is or where he came from, we don’t even know if he had a speaking part, we only know him as the little boy.
He was one of the key players in one of the greatest stories told in the Bible that displayed one of the many miracles of Jesus.

He was the little boy with the sack lunch that Jesus used the feed 5000.
We don’t know what happened to the little boy, we don’t know what kind of man he grew up to be, we never hear about him again, yet thousands of years we are still talking about him.

Today believe that you are significant
Today I will be generous
What if that little boy had refused to give up his lunch?

Too bad so sad buddy, ain’t my fault none of y’all didn’t think to bring something to eat, I am keeping it for myself.

What if that little boy looked at his fish and loaves and thought no way!  This ain’t gonna feed all these people so why bother giving it up, besides then what will I eat?
Today I will believe that I am significant

Today I will be generous
Remember the little boy, whose name we don’t know, but we still talk about him, the little boy with the sack lunch of a fish and a few loaves of bread that fed five thousand.

  3. Kandi, I had never thought about this in this way before. "We don’t know what happened to the little boy, we don’t know what kind of man he grew up to be, we never hear about him again, yet thousands of years we are still talking about him." What we do today may seem so insignificant, but it could have lasting effects. Today I will believe I am significant. Today I will be generous. Great encouragement!!!

  5. What an excellent point Kandi. We never know how God will choose to use us, or what kind of far-reaching impact it may have.

    In His eyes, we are all significant, we are all important, and we are all special...

    We are all HIS!

    Have a Blessed Day!

  8. LOVE this post, Kandi. And what a great lesson for us to take away from this story. We have something offer...no matter how little we think it is!
