"Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like?
To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden.
When it was fully grown, it became a large bush."
(Luke 13: 18 - 19).
The Parable of the Mustard Seed evokes the truth of the life cycle concept: small beginnings, steady, mysterious growth and development. Our faith comes to us as a tiny mustard seed.
God reveals to simple souls the mysteries of the Kingdom. (Cf Matthew 11: 25). As the sunflower seeks the sun, they seek the face of God daily in prayer and faithfulness to His will. And they grow steadily in faith, hope and love. They love the word of God. And God who delights in the little ones ravishes them with His promises:
"Blessed are you who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways!
For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork; blessed shall you be, and favored." (Psalm 128: 1 - 2).
This promise is for all of us.
