Faith is a Seed

"If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can
say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the
roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would
obey you."
Luke 17:6

Jesus talked about the responsibility of
forgiving those who offend us, even when
they repeatedly do us wrong (Luke 17:1-4).

This blew the minds of His disciples and they
pleaded, "Lord, increase our faith".
But the answer Jesus gave them was that it
was not an increase of faith that they needed;
no, what they really needed was to apply the
faith they already had.
Even if they had faith only the size of a
mustard seed, it would be more than enough
to do the job.

The thing about a mustard seed is that,
though it's very small, the tiniest seed in
the garden, it grows up to be a tree.
But the size of the seed doesn't matter.
The tiniest seed or the largest, it will not
make one bit of difference, that is, not as
long as it's held in the hand.

The really important thing about a seed is
what is done with it.
Holding it or planting it; which ever is
chosen makes all the difference.

SEEDS ARE MEANT TO BE PLANTED!
