My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

SEPTEMBER The Twenty-first LIFE AS BREAD

MARK viii.10-21.

It is gracious to know that my Lord is |the Bread of Life,| and that I can feed on Him. It is fearful to know that I, too, am bread, and that others are feeding on me. Am I the nutriment of vice or the sustenance of virtue? Am I an evil leaven, like the Pharisees, or a holy leaven like the Lord? When little children feed on my presence do they grow in strength and beauty? Or do they become relaxed and demoralized? Who will feed upon me to-day, and what will be the end of it?

If I would have my life to be as hallowed and hallowing leaven I must regularly feed upon the Bread of Life. If I am sustained by the Lord, I too shall be a sustainer of all who aspire after a true and holy life. My very character will itself become heavenly bread, and men will be nourished by it even when I am unconscious of the ministry. When they have spent a brief hour in my company they will go away refreshed.

|Lord, evermore give us this bread!| So feed us with Thyself that we may share Thy nature. Let |virtue| go forth from us, and let it be as holy bread to all who are heavy-laden, and ready to faint.
