We have a choice in how we see the world. The disciples looked and saw what they didn't have -- enough bread to feed the crowd. Jesus looked at the crowd and saw what they didn't have, but he also saw their devotion, and he saw them with compassion.
When we look at the world with compassion, we see differently. While we still see lack, we see people with eyes ready to understand at a different level. We see the things that are there, in addition to the lack. We look with eyes of the heart ready to identify with those we see, for we all know need.
May we find the satisfaction we're so hungry for. Only Christ can truly offer this. In him, we find abundance beyond what we can ask or imagine.
