"...the bread of life..."

John 6:48, Jesus said, "I am the bread of life."

A pregnant woman eats for two. A woman who nurses her baby takes in nutrition for them both.

As we come before God to read His Word and pray, He nourishes us spiritually, but our spiritual nourishment may not be for us alone. Our husbands or wives may need our encouragement and prayers. Our children and grandchildren may need our spiritual instruction and example. Our friends may need our spiritual companionship and advice. And God may lead us any day to someone who needs to know our Savior for himself.

God feeds us not only for ourselves but also in order that others can be filled and refreshed and encouraged and comforted and instructed and inspired through our lives. He feeds us so we can share the Bread of Life with those around us.

Prayer: Father, use me to help feed others with the spiritual food which I have received from You. Amen.
