Each and every one of us has got different needs and wants, and sometimes what we need and what we want can be numerous. To get what we need and want, we keep on praying to God, asking Him to grant our desires. When we get what we asked for, are we grateful and give thanks to God for His providence, or do we begin to ask for more and more? When we do not get what we ask for, what happens? Are we willing to let God do what is best for us, or are we going to look for other means of help, only to find that these other means of help are not of any help after all?
In today's Gospel, we see the crowd swelling into a huge one, until Jesus had to get into a boat to avoid being crushed by the crowd. Indeed, people can be so demanding and their wants and needs can be great, and sometimes we could be crushing Jesus with our demands. While many of us are asking Jesus for so many things, how many of us are sharing or giving to others as well? Are we keeping what we have received only to ourselves? Just as Jesus has been generous to us in granting our needs, may we too be generous in helping and sharing with others.
