If only just a little bit more, was Olivers twists request in thast very movie and book. Please Sir I want some more of that terrible gruel to just fill the hungry stomache of that growing boy, left without parents as an orphan, no one cared about him or for him, his only hope was just a little bit more food to help be happy live a bit linger and stay alive. Isn't it such a terrible thought to not know where our next meal is coming from, whether we will ever eat again, have enough food to be contented fort he day or even be able to earn an income that will give us enough money to put food on the table and feed the family. As we go to work each day we wonder whether we be able to keep our jobs to feed our kids, pay the bills keep a roof over our heads.

These little necessities we all too often take for granted as something that will always be, that we could not be so stupid as to lose our job or that we might upset the boss enough to sack us through incompetance or insubordination. How long can we take the pain, how long can we keep going and keep it up, how much work do I actually have to do to satisfy the boss. When your work is like getting blood out of a stone just to perfrom the next task, then you need to see a doctor and go onto some kind of Government support. Our pride won't let us do that but what can we do when things hurt so much through giving all you have got and not having anything left, when the petrol tank is empty and you have not got the money for another full tank and spent all that you have on wild living or other unsightly indulgences that just leave you high and dry. All we can do is get on our knees and repent to God in a humble prayer of confession and aks for forgiveness.

Maybe just a little bit more, money, love, care, food, freindship, family. All these things we take for granted when we go out on a limb and think that we can do everything for ourself and that relationship with people or in a church organistaion where peopl are just begging to help someone in need. We have to humble ouselves and not allow our pride to take over, but must give in and submit to a higher authority God, Parents, Someone who will love and care for you and your real needs a church minister or paster, charity or Government organisation that will help. There are many around and we only have to seek, ask and accept help by achknowledging that this world is too big for anyone of us and we can't do it all on our own. Just a little bit more, Is it realy really that too so very hard?

I ask you. Please accept just a little bit more, when it is all give and not take or visa versa, scream for help and swallow your pride, you will be glad you did to come into the safe arms of God.
