A multitude followed Jesus as He went to a deserted place in the city of  Bethsaida. When evening came, His disciples urged Him to send the multitude  away to find food and shelter, but Jesus said to them ‘you give them something  to eat’. You are a bundle of wisdom, abilities, skills, and knowledge which you  have gathered over the years and your life experience is an asset. There is a  multitude out there waiting to drink from your wealth of experience. These are  the people you have been called to serve. This is the multitude you are meant  to feed. You were not called to serve everyone on earth. You cannot be  everything to everybody. There are about seven billion people in the world. You  are called to serve only a tiny dot of this seven billion.

So how do you identify the multitude your multitude? Your life experiences can  lead you to them. What trials have you overcome? What processes have you  gone through and succeeded? What have you become an expert at doing? The  things that happen to us in life are hardly random, they are usually part of God’s  plan to get us to where He wants us to be. God will hardly waste a life  experience, including a painful one. If you allow Him, He can enable you use it  to feed your multitude. People are helped better when they can relate to your  personal experiences. The bible says that God comforts us so that we can  comfort others with the same comfort wherein we were comforted. (2 Cor 1:4).

What is your story? Are you a cancer survivor? Are you a victim of rape or  domestic violence, a parent with an autistic child or a rehabilitated drug addict?  A thriving single parent, divorcee or at home mother? Your experiences can help  you identify the multitude you are called to serve. You can feed them with your  mess to message story which is a powerful tool to transform someone’s life.

Your life is a bundle of energy which people must experience when they  encounter you. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Identify and feed your multitude.  You have enough to feed them with. You are the light of the world. Light up your  section of the world.
