In Mark's Gospel (chapter 4) Jesus tells a story about a mustard seed. Mustard seeds are tiny, but they grow into large plants. Jesus used the story to illustrate how the kingdom of God starts small and grows bigger. But the parable can also be applied to us. No matter how small in stature, or insignificant in life we may think we are, God can use us for big things. In fact, St. Paul says the same thing. "Consider your own calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something" (1 Corinthians 1:26-28).
Put yourself at God's disposal through prayer. Listen to him. Let him lead you in what he wants you to do. I assure you he has an assignment for you.

AliceI started this website and blog on May 1, 2012. I am a Catholic who has been in ministry for many years. I first developed what I would call a close relationship with Jesus in the early 1970s. Ever since then I have been praying with people for healing and other needs. It is because I have seen so many of these prayers answered that I am so bold as to offer to pray for you individually through this website and phone line. Archives
