“I hunger for you!”
“Give us this bread always.” The request of the people revealed the deep hunger in them. What about us? What do we hunger for in our lives?

Acts 6:8-15, John 6:22-29
“Search for God first”
Do we search for the Giver or the gifts?
In today’s gospel, the crowd went looking for Jesus for free bread and free food. They ate the bread that Jesus had multiplied for them, and they wanted more. Jesus knew their motive for coming to Him, not for Him but for bread.
Jesus does not want to be our personal vending machine. He desires to enter into a relationship of intimacy and trust with us first, and the rest will flow from there. Listen to Jesus as He says these words to us, “Work for God... By searching for Him first.” Jesus, bring me to a greater search for you alone!

“Do you agape me?”
In Greek (which is the language of the New Testament), there are four words to describe the word ‘love’. They are: eros (sexual love), philio (love between friends), storge (love between family members) and agape (unconditional love).

“Mantra of our lives: It is I. Do not be afraid”
Weren’t there moments when we felt that God seemed to be so far away from our life? Weren’t there times when we felt frightened as we battled with the storms in our lives?
“It is I. Do not be afraid.”
