If you are familiar with Christianity, you are probably familiar with the parable of the mustard seed. If not, the main takeaway from this story is growth. The mustard seed is very small, but it grows into something huge and beautiful.

Today I heard the parable of the mustard seed and I found it related so much to my life. I think we reach a certain point in our lives where we think we know all that we need to know. We've received knowledge in all different kinds of subjects. We've met all kinds of people. We've gone to all types of places. Yet, the parable of the mustard seed reminded me that this is so wrong, but in the best way possible. Why would you want to know all there is to know? Why would you want to have met all the different kinds of people out there? There would be no room for you to grow.

Because there is so much we do not know and so much that we have yet to experience, we can still grow. We are always growing, even when we don't realize it. But it took hearing this parable for me to remind myself that God has so much in store that I can't even begin to imagine. Isn't that the best part, not knowing?I challenge you to find hope in the growth that is yet to come in your life, knowing that it will lead you one step closer to the person you are meant to be.
