you give them something to eat

When it was evening, his followers came to him and said, "No one lives in this place, and it is already late. Send the people away so they can go to the towns and buy food for themselves." But Jesus answered, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."
Matthew 14:15-16
in this passage Jesus's disciples didnt think they had enough bread to feed the 5,000 men besides women n children and told them to go to the village to buy their own food but Jesus's says no you feed them. in the end the disciples themselves were full and were able to feed the 5,000 men besides women and children. 
in life people do this, we dont want to give up our possesions or our values for others because were affraid there wont be any left for yourself. people in life are greedy. they have to much money or have to much material things and they dont want to share or give it up because they are affraid theyll be left for nothing or people that see people who are hungry or who need to be sheltered usually, people think oh someelse will feed them or someone else will shelter them. people wait to think that the next person will stop to help when Jesus wants us to stop right then and there to help. everyone has been there. driving down the rain thats pouring a tsunami and your driving. you ponder and see that person on the side of the road and think. should i stop? or should i go ahhh the next person will pick them up or theyll be alright. but Jesus wants us to act right then and there.
the disciples felt with little faith thinking that there wouldn't be enough food for everyone for them and 5,000 men but they had extras left over. people do that today. they dont think  or have faith that they will lose everything when they share there value or food that there will be none left for them but god and Jesus want you to have faith. if you have faith god will provide for you. he will bless you for your faith and provide for your needs. the object is to love and share with one another and to have faith. and the world would be that much better if everyone shared and everyone didnt wonder if they had enough for themselves but to feed their neighbor. everyone would be happier and loving because we would depend on one another.
