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 and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches. Luke 13
Jesus loves what is simple and seemingly
insignificant. And he sees the great potential in what is small; he knows that
little things done with love are transformative. And then the kingdom becomes reality, a place where the Father’s love and truth will be enacted.
In his kingdom we join with one another, depending only on the Father’s kind
regard, on our common need for forgiveness, our common need for him, and for one
another, now more than ever. It is a
time to be confident that the little we do matters - random acts of love and lovingkindness.
