In the parable of the mustard seed, Christ was trying to describe the kingdom of God. He did not say that the kingdom of God was like this great resort that you go to in Syria where you are catered to and lavished without a care in the world; where all of your friends are, big buffet, entertainment, the works. No, it was described as a tiny seed that grows into a large, beautiful and powerful plant that provides shelter and nutrition for those that want it. The kingdom of God is our faith, that is where it abides; our faith that we can provide for ourselves and for others, faith that we will grow mightily, and be nurtured with rich soil, water and sunlight, all of God’s blessings. Having faith knows where our blessings stem from. Seek first the kingdom of heaven, and everything else will be provided. Find that tiny germ of faith within you, and nurture it into the mighty being that you are. That is the kingdom of heaven. You are the kingdom of heaven, it is not a place that you go, it is the being that you are.
