MATTHEW 13:31-34

How to see a Glass Half Full in a world constantly screaming that it is Half Empty

1- THE KINGDOM GROWS INVISIBLY BEFORE IT GROWS VISIBLY, starting internally before working itself to the external world around you. God is often doing the deepest works inside of you before you see visible results. The enemy wants you to despise small beginnings because if you misjudge the seed, you may abort the process before it grows. It takes 10 years to become an overnight success, and just because it is hidden does not mean it is absent.

2- A small beginning doesn't mean you're excluded from a big ending, it most often is a precursor for it. It was the smallest seed, then it was a bush, then it was a tree… it was a lump of dough with some hidden pecks before it was a loaf of nourishment…. And your view of half empty moments will determine the fullness of the reality of God that you walk out in as a person, because heaven calls you a tree even if you feel like there's no way the seed of your life could ever become one. Seeds and pecks can become trees and loaves if your perspective stays half full even if the development makes you feel empty.

3- YOUR PERSPECTIVE DETERMINES YOUR PARTICIPATION. The half empty heart constantly interprets life through what is missing, delayed, hidden, or unfinished. But the half full heart learns to see small things through the lens of believing for God to do something profound in them. The Kingdom is difficult for restless people because restless people only celebrate finished products while God celebrates planted seeds. Some people miss what God is doing because they are waiting for a spectacle while God is waiting for fuller and deeper surrender to him. The perspective you ruminate on will determine whether you abandon the seeds or nurture them, or if a seed transcends the bush, and becomes a tree.
