Feeding & Filling Souls

"Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them." Luke 9:16, 17

Many times I feel inadequate in ministry, unable to give anybody anything, and useless in meeting the deep need of people's souls. Interestingly, those feelings are correct. I have nothing to offer anyone. People are blessed and spiritually filled through my ministry when I take my meager best to the Lord and let Him work with it. He'll bless and multiply it and then simply ask me to distribute and disperse what He gives me. People will be fed and filled when I simply give out that which I've first taken to the Lord. Ministry is just dispersing what He gives me. I have nothing to give and am unable to meet any one's need. I must remember that Jesus has what people need. I shouldn't expect to be the one to meet the need, just to be the go between to set things before the multitude. When this happens, souls will be fed and filled.
