"If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be
uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."
Jesus talked about having the faith of a mustard seed. A mustard seed is a very tiny seed that also
produces a large tree. Jesus was trying to tell people that just believing in God a little bit--really
believing Him and putting Him in charge of our lives--would cause them to see miracles in their
lives.
People who believe in God have changed the world, and so can you. If only you have the faith of
a tiny seed.
(Luke 17:6
NRSV)
One of the great miracles in the world is how a tiny seed can be sown in the ground and can grow
into a beautiful plant, a nourishing vegetable, or a gigantic tree. If you have ever seen one of the
giant redwoods out in California, you know how great a tree can grow from a tiny seed. How
large is a redwood? If 20 children held their hands in a circle, they could reach all the way around
a redwood.
Loving God, help me to take the faith I have and use it to change this world by filling it with love.
Amen.
