Is This Enough, Lord?

[S] John 6:9,12 --
 ⁹"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?" 
 ¹²When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost." 

[O] Andrew's question in verse 9 (highlighted) is very convicting to me because it seems that is the proper posture of a servant of God engaged in His ministry -- what can I add to the vast ministry that God is already working in?  The answer is nothing, really, in fleshly sense but once gripped by Him, it can multiply to meet the capacity of the ministry at hand.  Contrarily, I must be careful not to have an attitude of saying, "Isn't this good enough God?  Look how much I brought to the table to do Your ministry?"  This type of an attitude is not only dangerous of pride, but also deplete the Power of God to manifest itself in the ministry I'm involved with.  In verse 12, Jesus also ensures me about how none of what little I bring forth into His ministry will be wasted.  The leftover fragments may refer to "failures" of ministry on first round which Jesus will gather up to apply in furthering the ministry or to turn them into food for the servants themselves (i.e., me).

[A] Always stay humble when bringing my share of efforts to His ministry by having the posture of Andrew: But what are these for so much need?  Humbly submit my efforts into His hands so it may multiply according to His plans.  And while it is inevitable to have dips and slumps in ministry, I must not write them off as failures but to gathering them up as my own food for thought and to gain strength from it to further my involvement in the ministry.  Make sure no efforts will be lost.

[P] Dear Jesus, what is my life and involvement for so much need in people around me especially at my church?  It really is a drop in a bucket but that's why I rely on You 100% so my meager efforts will multiply into meet the needs according to Your desires.  I want to experience just that and add the layers of my spiritual growth because I feed myself from Your wonders happening right in my own life.  Please continue to gather up my failures to feed me for regaining strength to carry on.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
