When I don’t produce the results I desire, it is very easy to feel I have failed. No matter where I find myself in life, every day presents new tasks and challenges.
Today’s readings remind us that by doing our best, we have succeeded in God’s eyes. We are seeds. In striving to please the Lord we continue to grow. The reading from the book of Ezekiel details how God plants the tree on the mountain, giving it life. As with the tree, He has given each of us a life and everything that stems from it.
The second Letter to the Corinthians tells us to please Him, because this demonstrates gratitude for one’s life. As the mustard seed of the parable demonstrates, even the smallest seed has the capacity to grow into the largest shrub.
God works through each of us in ways we can’t even imagine. By doing our best, we have pleased God; we have not failed.
