“It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”
Luke 13:19-21 KJV
Jesus taught the parable, “God’s kingdom is like the smallest seed that one might plant in a garden. When it grows to a huge tree, with so many spreading branches that various birds make nests there. To describe God’s kingdom, it is like something as small as yeast that a woman kneads into a large amount of dough. It works unseen until it permeates the entire batch and the loaf rises high.” Jesus explains that God’s Kingdom begins small but it will expand, grow and mature. People from every nation will come and “nest” in God’s Kingdom. The prophet Ezekiel had already prophesied that God will plant the seed which will grow and put out branches and bear fruit and become a stately cedar tree. Every kind of bird will find a home in its branches and will make their nests.” Something that is so small can impact and penetrate something great. God’s Kingdom influence of virtue and truth brings transformation and impacts every culture and society around us. Amen!
Dear Damini Ji,
ReplyDeleteI hope this note finds you and your family in good health and spirits.
My name is Mamidi S. Sudheer Raj ( Sadhu Dayananda), and I have been deeply connected to the teachings and legacy of Prof. E. Ahmed Shah, who has been a guiding light in my life. Over the years, I have tried to meet your father-in-law, Mr. Diler Ahmed Shah, but unfortunately, the opportunity has not yet materialized.
I would like to share that my journey of faith took a profound turn when I encountered Lord Jesus Christ at the Sattal Ashram near Nainital, Uttarakhand in 2006. This experience has been pivotal in shaping my path, and it further deepened my desire to reconnect with Prof. E. Shah’s family and his wisdom.
Today, as I came across your blog, I was overjoyed to learn about your relationship with Prof. E. Shah. I feel this could be a bridge to finally connect with you and your family. It would mean a great deal to me to meet you and learn more about your journey, as well as to express my gratitude for the impact your family has had on my life.
If convenient, I would be honored to arrange a time to meet with you. Please let me know your availability, and I will adjust accordingly.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
