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.
