33 Jesus also used this illustration: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough."
54 He returned to Nazareth, his hometown. When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was amazed and said, "Where does he get this wisdom and the power to do miracles?" 55 Then they scoffed, "He's just the carpenter's son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers—James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. 56 All his sisters live right here among us. Where did he learn all these things?" 57 And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family." 58 And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.

I think if we truly believe in Jesus, then we realize that He is the hope and cure for the whole world - so we need to spread His message of love to the whole world. But it starts with infecting the people around us.
Heavenly Father, may my love for you be purified and exposed to the people around me so that I may be like that Kingdom yeast. Lord, I want to believe you and trust your Word so that you will accomplish your Will in my life. I ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
