Amazing things grow from small beginnings - so begin!

Morning: Psalm 37:1-18; Isaiah 45:5-17; Ephesians 5:15-33

Evening: Psalm 37:19-42; Mark 4:21-34

Yesterday, someone emailed me a picture of a 247ft tall, 27ft diameter Sequoia tree in California. Their one-word comment was, ‘Incredible!’ That tree is 3200 years old and began its life - before Christ, before Aristotle, before Isaiah - as a small seed. Jesus likens the work of Love in the world to a tiny seed that grows into a large tree. Often, we will plant and not live to see the results, like the elderly farmer who plants acorns along his driveway. Our loving actions are not for us. Few truly worthwhile things come to fruition overnight. Plant anyway!
