"Jesus took the loaves and fish, he blessed them, and brake them, and gave them to his startled disciples, and commanded them to distribute them to the vast crowd. They did so and everyone had all he needed to satisfy his hunger - and then the disciples gathered up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. (John 6)
Had there been enough? Yes, enough and to spare. It is always the same with Jesus, He has 'enough and to spare' of grace, and love, and the power of his fellowship. He will never fail to give us all we need for absolute happiness and peace and contentment in Him. Wonderful gospel!
As Paul asked, when the Holy Spirit challenged him (and, through him, all of us) ...'And who is sufficient for these things?' (II Cor. 2:16) And he answered, 'Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;' (II Cor. 3:5) ... He has enough of everything I need. He is my sufficiency for every single day of my life, whatever it holds of joy or sorrow, blessing or challenge, of pleasure or pain." (Helen Roseveare)
