"His Lunch or His Heart"

Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,

"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish,

but how far will they go among so many?"

(John 6:8) 

Jesus had compassion on the hungry, the five thousand assembled, 

 along with their women and children

The disciples were fretting, wondering where they would go to buy 

 food, and how they would feed them

But, a young boy had a lunch that he was willing to give, and Jesus 

 took it, blessed it, and a miracle ensued

The hungry multitude was fed, by a multiplication of loaves and 

 fishes; they were filled and rescued

What a mighty thing that must have been to behold, watching the  

 thousands eat, from one little lad's lunch

It was normal for Jesus Christ to act in such a way; miracles were 

 His forte, but in this, I have a hunch

What if the lad had not wanted to give his lunch; it wouldn't be

 unheard of today, in this selfish age

After all, many are hungry today all over the world, and would any

 of us give, in this world of rampage

Oh, yes, there are those everywhere who give their "lunch," and

 much more, to help others in need

But, they're usually a humble bunch; they don't shout their love; 

 they're a precious wonderful breed

They understand the lad who gave, because they know it was more

 than his lunch, that he gave that day

You see, either we have it or we don't, this Lord within, who moves

 us to go the 2nd mile, and out of our way

It's a depth in the Spirit, that causes man to behave like his Savior, 

 and become like that good Samaritan

And it's happening all over this globe, in every Nation, kindred

 and tongue, not just with Americans

It comes from above, this love for mankind; it's the heart of Jesus 

 Christ our Lord, living in souls of men

Who have received His Spirit, who have been baptized in His

name, and left the evils of worldliness and sin

So, when the thousands left that day, as they watched the lad with 

 his full basket of food, on the road to depart

What was the real Miracle performed on that grassy knoll; did

 anyone wonder, was it: "His Lunch or His Heart."
