They all ate and were satisfied.
Mark 6:30-46
As long as we follow Jesus' teachings, we live our lives according to his word, and we try to refrain from sinning, we will be rewarded. Being a Christian is more complicated than simply claiming the title. We have to work for recognition, and that work, whether it is good or bad, is what determines where we spend the rest of eternity.
Jesus has a plan for us all, and he will not let us want for anything. What more could we want, honestly? He gave up his life for us so that we could live comfortably. That's the greatest gift we could ask for. Sure, we all have earthly desires; new clothes, a new car, or a new phone. But if we take a moment to appreciate what we've already been given by the Lord, those Earthly desires become trivial in comparison.
We seem to forget to be thankful for everything we have at times. Instead, we focus on what other people have, or what we don't have. We're all guilty of it. If we let go of the need for Earthly goods, we hand ourselves over to Christ. If we put our faith in him, we will not want for anything. He will take care of it all.
