Even if we only have
An infinitesimal amount,
When we share it,
God has promised
To renew it
So we never
Run out!
This,
Is the secret He concealed
In the mustard seed-sized
Meal,
The widow fed Elijah.
And yet God has promised
To reveal it
To all who seek
To do the same.
To all
Who seek to feed the needs
Of others first,
Instead of being focused
On their own needs first,
Or on the things
They think they need
Or must attain.
For would the miracle
Have occurred
If the widow had insisted
That she eat first?
Or if she had demanded
That she had to have
Some proof first?
Or,
If she had asserted
That she had to have
An overflowing measure
In her own cup first?
No.
It never would have.
Instead,
God waited till her flour bin
Had been completely emptied,
For the needs
Of others first,
Before He spoke the word
That re-infused it.
No.
It never would have.
Instead,
God waited till her heart
Had been completely emptied,
For the needs
Of others first,
Before He spoke the word
That re-imbued it.
