Jesus reminds us that God's kingdom is like a mustard seed or yeast – small beginnings with incredible power to transform. True transformation starts within, in our hearts, where faith, like a tiny seed, grows into something extraordinary with God's grace.
Mother Teresa wisely said, "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." In our families and communities, these small acts of love – a kind word, a helping hand – are the seeds of change.
Like the mustard tree sheltering birds, our transformed lives are meant to touch and bless others. We are called to be agents of God's love, bringing hope and healing to our world.
How do we live this out? By loving God and one another, even when it's hard. By being patient, forgiving, and generous. God's kingdom is within us; let it grow through our small acts of great love.
Let us trust in God's transformative power. He takes our small seeds of faith and love and grows them beyond our imagination.
Go forth and do small things with great love, starting with your families.
