He continued, “What’s a good image for God’s kingdom? What parable can I use to explain it? Consider a mustard seed. When scattered on the ground, it’s the smallest of all the seeds on the earth; but when it’s planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all vegetable plants. It produces such large branches that the birds in the sky are able to nest in its shade.” With many such parables he continued to give them the word, as much as they were able to hear. He spoke to them only in parables, then explained everything to his disciples when he was alone with them. (Mark 4:30-34, CEB)
The smallest of seeds becomes the largest of plants.
Meaning the smallest action can cause the biggest turnaround.
When you give even a cup of water to one of these you are doing the work of God.
The small things we do every day help to spread love into the fabric of society and bring about the kingdom of God. So never think you can’t make a difference.
A smile.
A kind word.
Holding open a door.
Any small thing can and will make a difference.
Loving People. Loving God.
