Just as I am

I don’t have much to bring You

Just like the five loaves of bread and 2 fish

But I will bring You what I have

My mess, my deficiencies, my weaknesses

My whole heart

And I will let You do what You do best

To multiply even the smallest portion

Beyond what I could ever imagine

Beyond what I could ever hope for

Yes, I will bring what little I have to You

And I will trust You with it

Because when I give what I have to You

No matter how insignificant or broken

You always work miracles with it

So I will continue to show up, even empty-handed

And trust that You will work with me

For I know You are faithful to meet me right where I’m at

Just as I am

And multiply my humble offering

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20

“As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.  They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.” Matthew 14: 13-21
