Sunday Thought 95

Sometimes we think are efforts are just not enough.  They just seem so small. In the book of Mark, chapter 4, there is the parable of the Mustard Seed. Jesus is trying to help us understand the kingdom of God and he compares it to a mustard seed:

“It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.”

The kingdom of God started out very small, and yet it became large. Our efforts, although maybe small in our eyes, can also grow. A little can go a long way! Just keep plugging away, keep working, and do not give up. And someday, your little may turn out to be a lot!
