MY SMALL ALL

Have you ever been in a situation where all you got is a mere fraction for another person?Well, I was there a few weeks ago. I was in a round table with millionaires and the way they spoke about money you would think they just fetch it like water. I sat there thinking I am not even a thousandaire..With that came the feeling of poverty.

As I sat and listened on to the conversation, I wondered how many times we feel lost when we sit with people that have got multiples of our all? The truth is everything starts small. As I engaged one of the millionairess later on, he told me the story of how he was not always a millionaire. He started from the little but that little is what grew into the millions he has today.

I remembered of the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarepath. Her all was just the little flour that was left and that was to be her last meal.She offered that all to Elijah, and was ready for whatever would happen next. Yet, that little is what God blessed. Her jar of flour never ran out.

The story of the feeding of the five thousand was another that shows how our small all can be a great blessing to us and to others. The small boy only had two fish and five loaves of bread. He gave them to Jesus and small as they were, Jesus multiplied them and it was enough for that big crowd

Enough times, our all will seem small especially when we compare to what other people have. Yet that is what God will bless. Don't despise that little that you have at the moment. That is exactly what God intends to bless. It could be your ministry, your job, your talent, your belongings. Whatever it is that you have, remember that it may be small, it may be your all, but from it great things shall grow.
