It is the smallest of all the seeds,
but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs
and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air
come and make nests in its branches.
—Matthew 13.32
You are a mustard seed of justice.
Never mind the smallness of your witness.
The wound is deep, the sickness is awful,
the hunger is great.
But you are a mustard seed of healing and justice.
Immeasurable divine fruit is hidden
in the smallest acts of love and courage.
It’s not about you. It’s the power you contain.
You are a mustard seed of justice.
But only when you are sown.
