Single and Happy: Finding Your Love Life Every Day

Start Small

"It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants"

Matthew 13:32

Some people have told me that I do a lot of things – working within 10am-7pm on weekdays, hosting a radio program, preaching, travelling, writing and so on. I'm like, "Naaah", it is not me, it's God who is working in me whenever I do good things. In fact, I'm the reverse. If it's just me working, I don't do a lot of things that I am supposed to do, worst, I do the opposite!

There are times when I don't share reflections in my blog. It's not that I don't have it, it's just that I opted to sleep than to type and post it.

Then one time, while in a spiritual retreat, the speaker mentioned my name, telling to the crowd that what I'm doing sets an example for many – using the social media to share the Word of God. I was like "Wow thank you" and "Oooops!". Maybe it's a sign from God for me to continue and be consistent.

Friend, start small and be consistent, rather than starting big but stopping after a while because of difficulty.

Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants" (Matthew 13:31-32).

The little act of goodness and option to love – like turning off the lights when no one is using, putting additional effort in a dish we cook, or picking up a kitten in the middle of the street, rather looks small, but is enough.

God will slowly work with our bits of seasoning to cook a delicious meal, or let us say, a better life for us and for many, as he continued, "It becomes a large bush and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches".

In case you're not much a fun of nature, Jesus gave another parable, where for sure you can relate to – food!

The best version of yourself, "is like a yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened." (Matthew 13:33)

You see, it's not the noticeable big things you did that forms you, it's the unnoticeable small things – like a seed hidden underneath the ground and a yeast that is not visible when mixed into the dough.

Friend, make an option to love in a small way today and don't forget, be consistent.
