| Mark 4:30-32 what shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on the earth. et when planted , to grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.
Jesus often used seeds as a picture of the kingdom of heaven. he was not talking about someday, some where else kingdom, but rather a present reality.
Even when it's still winter, we trust spring will come. I trust God will provide, and help the seed of my faith to bloom. He'll take my small acts of faith, and grow them into something beautiful.
Father God, guide me today to do all things that will being glory and honor to You. I sometimes have a mustard seed of faith, will You Bless it to bring me joy, comfort and peace? Help me God to plant a seed of faith in others to follow You, Trust You so they me see the result of Beauty of life.
AMEN
If you are not trusting God , You are worrying ,have doubt, you are not worshipping every breath the gift from God, you are worshipping the devil.
That is exactly what the devil wants to pull you from your mustard seed of faith to keep you from growing in Christ.
Will you plant a seed of faith today, even if you are skeptical that they will ever result in beauty or fruit?
I pray you will, be BLESSED, HAVE PEACE! JOY! COMFORT AMEN
For it is WITH God ALL things are POSSIBLE  | |

| Another beautiful verse for the day. I have this on my wall in my office because it really helps me feel centered. Malachi 3:3 says " He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."
This verse puzzled some women in a bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one had to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were the hottest to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot: then she thought again about the verse that says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver" She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time. The man answered that yes, he had to sit there not only holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left one moment too long in the flames it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it."
If today you are feeling the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching until he sees his image in you.
