He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.” (Matthew 13:31-33, NRSV)
Have you ever been told you are too small to do something?
Well in Jesus’ day the mustard seed was the smallest of all seeds. Yet when planted the mustard plant would take over the location in which it was planted. It could grow to be 8 to 12 feet tall. It is also very prolific and not easy to get rid of.
Like the yeast in the second parable, just a little bit goes all through the whole batch.
So never think you are too small to have an impact for the kingdom.
Don’t ever think your gifts are insignificant.
God gave you the talents you have and made you the best for what He has in store for you!
No one can take your place, even if you are small, you are not too small. Because the mustard is small too but it will over take everything, just like the kingdom of God.
So follow and know you are bigger than anyone could ever see!
