A small and simple seed, even when surrounded by chaos and wilderness, has potential for growth and greatness. Jesus compared the kingdom of God to “a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it” (Mark 4:31–32).
