Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

 When we are up against it Jesus watches. He does not make things easy for us. He lets us fight our own battles. Like a parent watching his son put up a splendid effort in some athletic contest, he is proud of us; or,. like a parent watching his son let the side down, he is sad. Life is lived with the loving eye of Jesus upon us.
