Jesus gives freely

Scripture:
Matthew 14:19-20 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied.

Observation:
Jesus gives us everything that we need. And what is it that we need? It's Jesus. He gives us himself. He freely gives himself to us. It's interesting that he gave these people bread and he called himself "The Bread of Life". It's interesting that all who ate were satisfied and Jesus said about himself that anyone who comes to him would be satisfied.

John 6:35
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst."

Application:
Jesus satisfies me! Being a child of God satisfies me. Whenever I put my heart in something else, it always leaves me empty. I love my Lord Jesus, and he gives me himself freely. The only way I can love my family, is if I love him first and give him all of my heart. I have the bread of life and I will never hunger again!
