Dial-A-Prayer (440) 988-2323

Text: Matthew 13:31 & 32
Jesus told them another parable: The Kingdom of heaven is like this.  A man takes a mustard seed and sows it in his field.  It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows up, it is the biggest of all plants.  It becomes a tree, so that birds come and make their nests in its branches.
(This is the word of the Lord.)

How often we feel that what we have to offer seems so small as compared to what others can give and what others can do.  Yet, Jesus reminds us that no matter how much we have to give or we can do, there will be no usefulness in it unless we give it or do it!  You cannot imagine now what your "small" thing might bring forth in terms of future growth and commitment in another to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Let us pray:
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for not letting me get so caught up in the largeness that I forget that the smallest things can become resting places of your love.
Amen.

God bless you and have a good day.
