Last Sunday the gospel talks about the feeding of the 5000 , it dawned on me ,with the priest's accompanying sermon that Jesus makes miracles , yes but we are a part of the miracle.
Jesus asked the disciples " what do you have ?", to which they responded 5 fish and 3 loaves of bread...then this initial offer from a boy was able to feed the 5000.
In the miracle of Cana, Jesus asked for water, which he turn into wine. The miracle of oil for the poor widow, this one is amazing. There was still oil available but the widow does not have anymore jars to put the oil.
It is just like us there is still available miracle for us but we have run out of " jars", do you know why ?
Because...
we have limited thinking
we feel we do not deserve God's amazing grace
we are afraid of success so we can't handle it
we have a poverty mentality
we are afraid to ask God for our miracles
In Jeremiah , the Lord said "you do not have because you do not ask"
So ask God for you miracles
Your own house
your own car
good health
a happy family
your own business perhaps
even just a parking space in the mall
peace of mind
Name it and you can have it...
The first key to our miracles is with us. The Lord ask , what do you have ?
We have to respond with our own " fish and loaves of bread "
Find what you can give to serve others. If you have money donate to your favorite ministries. You can serve others by offering your talents ...what are you good at...math , english - you can tutor, if you can sing - be a part of the music ministry
You may say oh I don't have a talent...then you can serve with your time...be a lay minister or be a liturgical servant.
There is so much we can offer to serve with Jesus...
Don't wait for your miracle...but be the miracle in others lives...
I am sure in the process you will receive your own miracles...
Have a great life...
