"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which one took and planted in the field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
- Matthew 13:31-32

"How shall we picture the kingdom of God?...It is like a mustard seed..." MARK 4: 30-32

“The mustard seed seems so small and insignificant; but when God brings it in to its fullness, it is grand!” Luke 13:18-21

The parable of the mustard seed teaches us that from the smallest of things, we can often experience the greatest gifts. Further research around the mustard seed yielded information that the mustard seed is a sturdy as a weed, can take hold anywhere---among rocks, along putrid ditches, in country gardens, along wooded paths. No matter where it takes root, it takes over.
