In Your Presence · One-Minute Companion

This is the one-minute slice of today's morning companion: a verse and a step. If it helps, there's a quiet door to the full day below.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches." Matthew 13:31–32
Give ten "useless" minutes to nearness today

Today's brave request is this: dare to break away from the useful, grown-up tasks and give time to something "useless": simply being with God. Choose ten minutes today when you are not performing, not planning, not solving anything. You are only staying close. A short reading of Scripture, a quiet sitting, a walk without words.

And deliberately sow one small seed today: a kind word, a quiet help, a prayer for someone, without waiting to see the fruit. Leave the growing to the One who does it better anyway.
