Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." (John 6:35)
Dear Jesus,
Our society hungers. It hungers for the elusive "happiness". So many different paths are sought to achieve it. Some look to houses, cars, vacation homes, money, success, position, relationships, sex. Some look to various forms of spirituality. Some even look to things that are clearly positive - service to mankind, helping the poor, church work, mission work.
But show these children that it is only in you that the hunger can be satisfied. Not in possessions or position or even in worthwhile activity, but in you and you alone. Lead their hearts to draw close to you and partake of you. Show them the feast that awaits them which makes the things the world chases to be mere crumbs. May your true food, then, nourish them so that they have the strength, then, to do the works of service in your Kingdom as an outgrowth of your nourishment, not the source of it.
Amen
