Just a tiny seed of faith to cause something great to grow. Throughout this book, I want to encourage you to look for the mustard seed in your child s life and then nurture it. That mustard seed may come in unexpected forms. But God turned it into good when He inspired David to use his music to reach other rappers. Music became David s ministry.
Trials are often fertile ground for that mustard seed.
Even terrible experiences can be a seed of something good. Often it s up to parents to help a young person see this. One summer at a youth camp, a young girl came forward and blurted out that she had been molested by her father. That day she needed someone to hear her pain. In the months and years that followed, she needed a compassionate voice to tell her that God can use great pain to bring great good.
