The Kingdom of Heaven #2190

The Kingdom of Heaven The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, Tiny, unseen, yet within it holds the divine creed. A speck so small, yet immense in destiny, A promise of growth, a vision of eternity. The small is not small, in truth profound, In its heart lies a power unbound. If we see the small as truly grand, We grasp the infinite, held in God's hand. When the mustard seed is sown in earth’s embrace, It bursts forth with life, a testament of grace. From the soil it rises, humble and true, Becoming the greatest, its purpose to renew. The greatest of shrubs, with branches wide, Shelter for birds, a place to abide. Large branches spread, a haven, a rest, In the small, the Kingdom’s might is expressed. So is the Kingdom, hidden yet vast, A seed of faith, in the soul cast. It grows and spreads, beyond our sight, Revealing God’s love, His power, His light. In the small lies the secret of the divine, In every mustard seed, a holy sign. For in God’s plan, the humble shall lead, The Kingdom of Heaven, in a mustard seed. So let us sow, with faith and care, The seeds of Heaven, here and there. For the small is the big, in God’s grand design, In every mustard seed, His Kingdom shines. -Steven G. Lee (July 4, 2024)
