Mk 6:34-44 Hunger, thirst and neediness are human experiences that evoke compassion from someone who loves. The image of a parent feeding ones child speaks loudly of love. When Jesus feeds the hungry crowd, love is the message that comes across so powerfully. Parents who make the sacrifice of leaving their children behind in the care of their spouse or other relatives give one compelling reason: to be able to feed their families and provide a better future for them. This is how they want to show their love. Yet often, those left behind to do not understand this an expression of love. When Jesus challenged his disciples to feed the multitudes, in their objection, it is clear they were only thinking of the great cost of such an undertaking. Money is a good means of survival, but it may not always be a perfect solution. Jesus challenges us as he did the disciples to look at what we have, which may not seem enough, but when shared gratefully and managed wisely, it would be more than enough for everyones basic needs. #BibleDiary2015
