Small Beginnings to Great Endings

 

CALLE CRISOLOGO WITH MANNY CRISOSTOMO AND FAMILY

“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."
MATTHEW 13:31-32


“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lᴏʀᴅ rejoices to see the work begin …” Zechariah 4:10 NLT

Everything in life starts small. People, trees, houses, relationships, and even faith. But when something—even a microscopic something—is loved, nurtured, and cultivated, that small beginning begins to grow exponentially. A garden is planted one inch of dirt at a time. A book is written one word at a time. (Life.Church). 

It all adds up; never discount your efforts, because small efforts build big things. One word doesn't make a novel, but one word does begin a novel, and from that small beginning everything else follows (Laurell K. Hamilton)

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one (Mark Twain).

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises (Demosthenes). A diligent hawker today, can be a great tycoon tomorrow (Ernest Agyemang Yeboah). Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step (Laozi). If you plan to excel in big things, you have to develop the habit in the small ones (LeCrae).

According to the ancient Chinese proverb, A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step (John F. Kennedy). Small beginnings are the launching pad to great endings (Joyce Meyer).

“Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many...” ― William Bradford, Bradford: Of Plymouth Plantation
