How many loaves do you have?

Mark 6:30-44
Jesus saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because thy were like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus went to a solitary place to rest with his disciples.
It was late in the day, there was a remote place, disciples suggested "Send the people away to surrounding countryside.."
Jesus asked," How many loaves do you have?
Five - and two fish.
All the people sit down in groups pf hundreds and fifties.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
Why?
The Twelve report back, and Jesus sees their need for rest and a time away from the incessant demands of the crowds His plan is foiled - yet instead of being annoyed or irritable with the pursuers, his heart goes out to them, Jesus meets their hunger for teaching and for food.
Jesus loves those people for they like sheep without a shepherd, they don't know the right way, they are searching for physical healing and living only.
Jesus loves us, not only our spiritual needs but also our living needs.
How many do you have? Even five loaves and tow fishes, God can do hundreds time of the miracle to meet our needs.
Jesus needs our devotion heart, then he can do miracle on us.
How?
How many loaves do I have and like to devote it to the Lord?  Love includes spiritual and physical supporting to others.
