Just a few sentences each, but the comparison Jesus makes between the Kingdom of God and some very common, very tiny things is a powerful one indeed. That little mustard seed? It looks like nothing, but it is packed with potential. Once planted and nurtured in a garden, it grows large enough to allow birds to nest in its branches. That tiny bit of yeast? If you've ever baked bread, you've seen how a mere teaspoon of yeast, added to three cups of flour, makes enough dough for a nice big loaf. You can actually watch the dough grow and expand: it's amazing! Jesus is telling His followers that the Kingdom of God is bigger and better than we could ever imagine. We can have no earthly idea of true heavenly glory -- but Jesus assures us that, like a gardener planting a tiny seed and a woman adding yeast to her bread dough, God is preparing His Kingdom for you and for me.   #### Ponder:   Do we allow our understanding of God's power and goodness to be limited to what our human imaginations can think of?   #### Pray:   Jesus, teach me to appreciate the grand scale of Your heavenly kingdom.   --- > [Click to tweet: > The Kingdom of God is bigger and better than we could ever imagine. #dailygospel](https://ctt.ac/Sc2ne) ![Daily Gospel 2](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Daily%20Gospel%202.png?width=2135&name=Daily%20Gospel%202.png)   --- Copyright 2022 Barb Szyszkiewicz ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-10252022%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-10252022%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-10252022%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Daily%20Gospel%20Reflection%20for%20October%2025%2C%202022) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-10252022%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Fdaily-gospel%2Fdgr-10252022%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Barb Szyszkiewicz](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/BSzyszkiewicz%202022.jpg) ### [Barb Szyszkiewicz](https://www.catholicmom.com/daily-gospel/author/barb-szyszkiewicz-ofs) Barb Szyszkiewicz, senior editor at [CatholicMom.com](http://catholicmom.com), is a wife, mom of 3 young adults, and a Secular Franciscan.
