Thank you for this response, Andre. I like your interpretation of the mustard seed. Your response helps me appreciate that God is continuously transforming me into the person He wants me to be, if I only let Him.
I like the line “It also calls for a shift in perspective—choosing to see each challenge not as a burden, but as an opportunity to experience the liberating power of faith”.
In the face of adversity , we can choose to let go of anger and resentment, and realize that the power of transformation is acting within us and that, what we typically call a challenge or a great obstacle is really a means to our transformation and the gracious action of God in our life.
Today’s parable of the mustard seed I think relates to this . The Seed is our old self that we offer to Jesus and he takes the seed and produces a big tree with big leaves that protect others.
Often Jesus’ parables relate to nature and to the life inherent in nature, continuously transforming.
