Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.” Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.” -Luke 13:18-21 Download Bible Verses app here: http://bit.ly/1eXCj7J

Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon. (NLT) -Isaiah 58:10 It feels good to help someone in need. In a sense, God works through our hands to help others. If we keep our hand closed and tight fisted, God isn't able to work through it. When we open our hands to work with others and extend opportunities, your light will shine bright. Is there someone in your life that you can lend a listening ear or a helping hand of empowerment? Your light will be pleasing to God as it glorifies Him. Download this app to get your daily devotions: http://bit.ly/16uZrQ5
