Today’s passage reminds us that Lent is a season of hidden transformation, with grace working in quiet, unseen ways.
I’ve spent a lot of time this Lent reflecting on my faith journey.
I’ve experienced moments of quiet, moments of chaos, moments of peace and moments of clarity. Some were filled with happiness and light and others with confusion and even sadness.
But through it all, I’ve grown to appreciate that each of those moments are what mold us.
Those tiny, seemingly insignificant, minutes in our day band together and become opportunities for growth. They become chances to take action, to repent, to make a change, to extend kindness, to pray.
The beauty in today’s message is the parable of the tiny mustard seed. Our small efforts prepare the soil of our heart and it’s there that God grows greatness within us.
One of my favorite quotes is from Audrey Hepburn, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow”.
Merciful Father, cultivate grace and humility within us. May our expanding faith bloom to reflect Your greatness while our hearts root deeply in Your love. Amen.
