SEEDS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

Today, Jesus paints a scene of a man scattering seed on the soil. Once sown, he waits till it sprouts and grows into a good harvest. He does not know how they grow, but just harvests when the time is right. Jesus also speaks about the mustard seed. This tiny seed has so much potential. That little seed has within it the potential to become the largest of plants, a source of food, and a dwelling place for the birds of the air.

This reality reveals the fact that Jesus wants to use each one of us for the building up of His Kingdom. We may feel as though we cannot do much, that we are not as gifted as others, that we will not be able to make much of a difference, but that’s not true. The truth is that each one of us is packed with unbelievable potential that God wants to bring to fruition. He wants to bring forth from our lives glorious blessings for the world. All we must do is allow Him to work. Like a seed, we must allow ourselves to be planted in the fertile soil of His mercy through faith and surrender to His divine will. We must be watered by daily prayer and allow the rays of the Son of God to shine on us so that He can bring forth from us all that He desires and has planned from the foundation of the world.

He made us with the intention to bring forth His Kingdom through us and to do so in an abundant way. It is our responsibility to simply believe this and to allow God to do what He desires to do in your life.

Prayer: Lord, I love You and thank You for all that You have done in my life. I thank You, in advance, for all that You still desire of me. I pray that I may daily surrender to You so that You can come and nourish me with Your grace, bringing forth from my life an abundance of good fruit. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen
