I am committed to adhering to Jesus’ ministry and Intent. I trust you are too. Children have a special place in FATHER’S Heart as we see in Luke chapter 9, when Jesus spoke FATHER’S Words:
46 The disciples began to argue and became preoccupied over who would be the greatest one among them. 47 Fully aware of their innermost thoughts, Jesus called a little child to his side and said to them, 48 “If you tenderly care for this little child on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me. And if you care for me, you are honoring my Father who sent me. For the one who is least important in your eyes is actually the most important one of all.”
Consider the impoverished children. Are they not of even greater concern and attention? This is why FATHER is having Servias Ministries focus on the impoverished kids in the area. Because of the schools being closed thus reducing daily interaction, we have obtained grocery gift cards and are distributing them through the principals of the local school district. The current environment will not thwart FATHER’S Plan. Thank you for supporting this specific expression of Agape Love. I am thrilled FATHER is using us for such an important purpose!
The Beloved Disciple recorded in John chapter 6, the Words and acts of Jesus:
5 As Jesus sat down, he looked out and saw the massive crowd of people scrambling up the hill, for they wanted to be near him. So he turned to Philip and said, “Where will we buy enough food to feed all these people?” 6 Now Jesus already knew what he was about to do, but he said this to stretch Philip’s faith.
7 Philip answered, “Well, I suppose if we were to give everyone only a snack, it would cost thousands of dollars to buy enough food!”
8 But just then, Andrew, Peter’s brother, spoke up and said, 9 “Look! Here’s a young person with five barley loaves and two small fish . . . but how far would that go with this huge crowd?”
10 “Have everyone sit down,” Jesus said to his disciples. So on the vast grassy slope, more than five thousand hungry people sat down. 11 Jesus then took the barley loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to the disciples to distribute to the people. Miraculously, the food multiplied, with everyone eating as much as they wanted!
12 When everyone was satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, “Now go back and gather up the pieces left over so that nothing will be wasted.” 13 The disciples filled up twelve baskets of fragments, a basket of leftovers for each disciple.
Jesus was not reluctant to bless the boy who contributed to the blessing. Though not specifically written, the story suggests that the disciples helped carry the boy’s blessing back to his house. I am sure the family was astounded when he arrived and surely the disciples explained the details of the miracle.
As we give to feeding those in need, FATHER will bless us with abundance as well. This is what Agape Love does!
