Mustard Seed

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Yesterday the gospel was Jesus telling his disciples that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move mulberry bushes (or mountains). Have you ever held a mustard seed? You might of if you have been handed one in church or have been somewhere where they make mustard. Anyhow, the amazing thing is how small it is. Mustard seeds are tiny, one of the smallest seeds I have ever seen. Yet, even if we have faith as small as one of those the world can change, mountains can be moved. This always blows me away.
We are challenged to have faith in God the size of a mustard seed. We are all called to have faith in God, whichever way that faith manifests itself. Wether it is having faith in God for our food tomorrow or doing some daunting task we are called to. Faith is so beautiful! We give a mustard seeds worth and God delivers big time! If it is a mulberry bush being thrust into the sea or leaving our worries and concerns to God and letting him cast them away. All we need to do it have faith in Him. Our God is awesome!
Peace and love in Christ,
Alyse
