May we all plant seeds of goodness today.

Luke 13:18-19

Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a person 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.'”

Jesus is again alluding that we all have a part in helping the “kingdom of God” be manifested in the here and now.

When we plant seeds of goodness such as love, mercy, forgiveness, and compassion…they secretly sprout out of sight and with little fanfare.

But slowly this goodness grows and attends to the needs of all creation.

We don’t have to wait for a future heaven for God’s kingdom to show itself.

How can each of us plant seeds of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion this very day?

We may not see the end result…but that tiny seed may one day grow to something grand, beautiful and life-giving.
