The best we can bring

"Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the jars with water'; so they filled them to the brim." John 2:7

"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish — but how far will they go among so many?" John 6:9

Our Lord calls His people always to be His helpers in blessing the world. We cannot do much.

The best we can bring is a little of the common water; but if we bring that to Him — He can change it into the rich wine of Heaven, which will bless weary and fainting ones.

If we take simply what we have, and use it as He commands, it will do good. Moses had only a rod in his hand — but with this he wrought great wonders. The disciples had only five barley loaves — but these, touched by Christ's hand, made a feast for thousands.

So the common water, carried by the servants, under the Master's blessing became wine for the wedding.
