You could be the voice someone needs to hear.



If you know Jesus then you know the "bread of life" John 6:35

If you know Jesus then you know the God who is "love" 1 John 4:8

If you know Jesus then you know the source of "all good gifts" James 1:17

If you know Jesus then you know the "word of God" John 1:1-14

I'm reminded of the time Jesus feed the 5,000. The disciples came to him and said "send the people away so they can go by them selves something to eat." I think that is how we look at the world around us sometimes. We see all kinds of needs around us every day. We see hurt, we see pain, we see loneliness around us and we turn to Jesus and ask him to fix it but that is when Jesus does something crazy he says “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”  Jesus took what they had in their hands, a few loaves of bread, and some fish and multiplied it. Jesus took what they could do "pass out some fish and Bread" and used them to bless a pretty large group of people. I want to encourage you to go out and take what you have. Maybe you don't know a ton about the bible, maybe you don't know all the answers to why God allows bad things to happen (it's ok the disciples didn't) , just take what you have and trust Jesus with it. Then go share what you do have. You could be the person who gives someone enough hope to make it one more day. You could be the person who leads your friends to Christ. You could be there person who gives hope to the hopeless. You could be holding the encouraging words, the hug, the hope that will change someones life.
