Faith Like a Grain of Mustard Seed

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 ESV

It is interesting that the Lord told us about faith like a grain of mustard seed. Mustard seed is a very tiny seed. However if it has grown, it will be very big.

He has never asked us something we don’t have. He asked what we have. Probably he asked our time. Other time, he could ask our effort. In other occasion, probably he asked our money. In the difficult time, he asked our faith, even if it’s like a grain of mustard seed.

When the life isn’t easy, he wanted us to keep believing him. Even when we only have a very small faith, when we don’t give up, keep doing our best , and keep believing him, at the unexpected time he will open the way.

As a tiny seed that needs time to grow, the Lord shapes us. To give miracles is very easy for him. However, most of the time, he let us to wait, to struggle. Why? To let our faith grow. To help us to believe him more.

As a child who expecting to open Christmas gift, it will be such a lovely moment to open it in the morning, not before. The most valuable gift is something we receive after giving a lot of effort and time.

So, do we have difficult time today? Don’t be sad. It is the time when our faith growth. Have a lovely growing faith!

God bless us!
