Matthew 13:11

Matthew 13:11
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Lord, as the smallest seed, your word is passed from person to person, sometimes finding week soil or thorns, but often finding fertile soil from which to bear fruit. Grant us boldness today, because even a small word of encouragement and the name of Jesus could stir a heart, allowing that small seed to take root - opening the path forward into your eternal Kingdom.
