Jesus said,
“What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a
mustard seed that a man 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.”
Again he
said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a
woman took and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour until the whole
batch of dough was leavened.”

Reflection:
Where does
the kingdom of God begin in your life?
The Kingdom
of God starts small in your heart like a tiny mustard seed. If you would
nurture it, it will have life until it grows big. Where others could benefit
from it thus you become God’s instrument of blessing for others.
But others
don’t allow God’s Kingdom to take root in their hearts. They prefer the things
of this world than God. They choose the temporary over what is eternal, the
worldly over Godly. We must not commit the same mistake.
We should
allow God to have His dwelling in our heart no matter how small, then we have
to nurture it so that it could grow. Nurture it with prayers, reading the bible
and other books that would help us grow in faith.
We should
also strive to be present at Holy Mass whenever we could most especially during
Sundays. And of course, we should live our faith. If we would do all of these
the kingdom of God would surely be upon us and it would grow.
Will you
allow the kingdom of God to have a permanent dwelling in your life so that God
could bless others through you? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
