One of the qualities of God's nature, an aspect of love, we might say, is his generosity or abundance. The five thousand people who heard Jesus not only stopped being hungry - they received in abundance! The remainder could be collected and used, so that no blessing was lost.

This is the nature of God with which I must clothe myself while I am here on earth as a disciple of Jesus. (2 Peter 1,3-4) This generosity, which is born of love, is also something that can be part of my nature.
