The Power of Love

When God asks us to do something, we often respond with doubt because we’re not sure we have what it takes to get the job done. Just as the Disciples believed they didn’t have enough food to feed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and a couple fish, we question whether we have enough to share with others. Our doubt isn’t limited to feeding the hungry; we doubt whether we can afford to donate to the Church, or help the poor. We doubt whether we have enough patience to show those fighting against us that we love them. We even sometimes doubt whether we have enough love, to love. But when the Disciples included God in the plan there was not only enough, but an overabundance of leftovers. The power of love, when we love as God loves, and when we allow the love of God into our hearts, will always provide enough for us to share with others.
