(Jesus said,) “The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a farmer plants a mustard seed in a field. Although it is the smallest of all seeds, it grows larger than any garden plant and becomes a tree. Birds even come and nest on its branches.” ~ Matthew 13:31b–32 (CEV)
Lord God, you are always growing things -- nations, people, trees, and your kingdom of heaven. I want to grow with you. I want to think like you think and enjoy the things you enjoy. Plant your mustard seed in me. Grow it so that it takes over my life and pushes out all the things that shouldn't be in me. I want to see growth in my life and I trust that you do, too. Amen.
