The Mustard Seed: Why You Should Never Despise Humble Beginnings

Image
“Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree…” — Matthew 13:32 ✨ The Power of a Tiny Start In a world obsessed with overnight success and viral fame, it’s easy to overlook the quiet, humble beginning — the mustard seed moment. The mustard seed is small, almost invisible when held in the palm. But its potential is enormous. Given the right environment, it grows into a tree large enough to shelter birds. That’s no accident. Nature teaches us something deeply spiritual and practical: what starts small doesn’t have to stay small . 🔍 Why We Despise Small Beginnings Let’s be honest — starting small feels… insignificant. It’s tempting to think: “I only have 3 clients.” “My blog only has 50 readers.” “My savings account is laughable.” “No one knows my name.” But we forget: giants are built, not born. Every oak tree was once an acorn. Every empire started with one bold idea. Every successful person had their Da...

Why Bitcoin Remains the Best Storage of Value.

Image
  Bitcoin remains one of the best forms of a store of value due to a combination of economic, technological, and philosophical factors. Here’s a breakdown of why: ✅ 1. Fixed Supply – 21 Million Cap Bitcoin’s total supply is hard-capped at 21 million coins , making it the most predictably scarce digital asset in history. Why this matters: Unlike fiat currencies (which central banks can print endlessly), Bitcoin is immune to inflationary supply increases. Comparison: Gold has inflation (1–2% annually through mining); fiat has historically higher inflation (and debasement); Bitcoin has zero terminal inflation . ✅ 2. Decentralized and Trustless No government, company, or single person controls Bitcoin. Why this matters: You don’t need to trust a bank, a central authority, or a corporation for Bitcoin to function. Comparison: Central banks and governments can freeze assets, debase currencies, or seize gold. Bitcoin can't be confiscated without access to private...

Letter 5 to My Child: Answers to Life’s Questions

Image
As I reflect on my life journey, there's one realization that stands out above all others: the answers to ALL life's questions have been right in front of me all along, within the pages of the Bible. Yet, it took me years to fully grasp the depth of wisdom and guidance contained within this ancient text. Growing up, I relied majorly on what other people taught instead of reading it myself. While I had a vague familiarity with some stories and principles, I didn't truly understand the transformative power of the Bible until later in life. Instead, I found myself navigating through the complexities of life with uncertainty. However, even in my state of unknowing, there was a subtle force drawing me toward the wisdom of the Bible. It was as though its timeless truths were gently guiding me, despite my lack of conscious awareness. Looking back, I can see how its principles influenced my decisions and actions, often without me even realizing it. It wasn't until later in life...

We Remember the Fish....

Image
The Israelites, who were wandering in the wilderness after being liberated from slavery in Egypt, expressed their longing for the variety of foods they had in Egypt. Despite being sustained by manna, a miraculous bread-like substance provided by God, they yearn for the flavors and abundance they experienced in Egypt (Numbers 11). A few things are worth noting. Selective Memory: The Israelites selectively remember the pleasures of their past life in Egypt, such as the food they had, while conveniently forgetting the hardships and oppression they endured as slaves. This selective memory distorts their perception of reality and prevents them from recognizing the blessings of their present circumstances. Loss of Gratitude: Nostalgia can lead to a loss of gratitude for the blessings of the present. Despite experiencing God's deliverance from slavery and His provision of food in the wilderness, the Israelites express dissatisfaction and longing for their former life, demonstrating ingrat...
