Parable of the Mustard Seed
The mustard seed was the smallest seed a farmer used, therefore, Jesus uses the parable of the mustard seed to show what can come from something or someone with little beginnings. Never underestimate the power of your actions, as you may or may not see immediate results, but you will in time. There are many people struggling with their faith right now, and my encouragement to you is to read the parable of the mustard seed and understand that many have been where you are. Don’t be intimidated by the Bible or church. Everything that is great came from humble beginnings. Some of the greatest companies in the world came from a simple idea and a little faith. As they continued to build the company, their idea and faith grew, and IN TIME that little faith turned into a dream come true. Our Christian journey can be very similar. We start off on the wrong foot, as we are all born into this world with a sinful nature. We then turn to Jesus for answers and guidance. Eventually we continue to build on our faith until we get to the point where nothing will keep us from our Lord and Savior. Regardless of your faith journey, everything that’s great now was at one point the size of a mustard seed!

Application:
1. Read Matthew 13:31-32
2. You will have small beginnings, and in time you have will great success!
