Faith of a Mustard Seed, Is All You Need Indeed

Matthew 17:20 (NASB)

 20And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

There was an illustration that I heard on the radio that brought this verse to life for me. If you were falling off a cliff and you were able to grab onto a root, you would reach out for dear life. It does not really matter how much faith you have in that root. The most important thing is, that root runs so deep as to not be shaken -- that the root reigns True. The Word of God is that root that we need to hold onto. More important than how much faith we can muster is what your Faith is in! Jesus said that Faith even as small as a mustard seed can move mountains because that Faith is in Him! With Christ, all things are possible!

The strength of His roots are greater than any tree. He is the Tree of Life! The way we connect to Him is not all about being super Holy or anything of that nature. He truly seeks a deep relationship with us! We need to fellowship and commune with Him daily about all things. So many people do not want to take their problems to Him because they feel as if they have let Him down due to their sin or shortcomings. We are all sinners, and we all fall short. That is not what it is about. God sent His Son because He knew we would fall short! Jesus went to the cross to pay the price that we owed. The debt is paid in full because He loves us! Now all that He wants is to reciprocate that love back to Him through communication. I encourage to take all situations, all circumstances, any sins, all your shortcomings, and lay them down at His feet. Give everything up to Him because He gave everything for us. He is bigger than any situation we can bring into the Throne Room! Praise the LORD!
