Jeroboam, driven by fear of losing power, replaced true worship with idol worship. Jesus felt with compassion for hungry crowds, gave thanks & multiplied the little offered, and satisfied all. Readings contrast human insecurity with divine generosity. When we trust ourselves, we create substitutes for God; when we trust God, even scarcity becomes abundance. Thus, on this Valentine’s day which is highly commercialised and immoralized, let’s remove fear and insecurity, welcoming Jesus’ compassion so we too can be generous in love like Jesus.
