Brooks: nothing is too great

Wednesday, March 23, 2022
Meditation:
    Again [Jesus] said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”
    —Mark 4:30-32 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Obey Him, love Him, and nothing is too great, nothing is too little; for love knows no struggle of great or little. No impulse is too splendid for the simplest task; no task is too simple for the most splendid impulse.
    ... Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), The Light of the World, and Other Sermons, New York: E. P. Dutton, 1904, p. 120 (see the book)
    See also Mark 4:30-32; Amos 4:13; Matt. 17:20; Mark 12:41-44; Rev. 11:16-18
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You have shown me Your care in all things, great and small. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
