TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus asked,

“What is the kingdom of God like?

What shall I compare it to?

.

It is like a mustard seed,

which a man took and planted in his garden.

It grew and became a tree,

and the birds perched in its branches.”

.

– Luke 13:18-19 (NIV)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

We Christians should not be discouraged

if what we do to take God to others seems very limited and insignificant

…almost useless.

.

Jesus tells us that every little well-meaning act counts,

because with God’s grace

and with our own witness and faithfulness,

every good act will be like that tiny mustard seed,

and will grow and spread in spite of all difficulties.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

My Lord, my God, my Jesus, increase my faith.

Strengthen my spirit and fill me with courage and determination.
