This verse can remind us that sometimes we may feel like we have nothing to offer or share when we face Jesus, but it's in those moments He asks us what we have, not just for Him but often as a prelude to doing something bigger together. Think about times when you thought you had nothing left to give and yet found unexpected ways to contribute.
