How to Move a Mountain with a Mustard Seed

Do you bemoan your lack of faith? Are you trying to muster it up but find yourself still full of doubts?

Life brings mountainous challenges that can feel too difficult to climb. Whether it's a troubled marriage, an illness, or a financial difficulty, you can become overwhelmed and feel powerless.. 

Faith is not the absence of doubt. Instead, imagine the faith you think you need, and take 5% of that. It is all I require. That tiny “mustard seed” of faith can grow into something magnificent. It is what moves mountains (Matthew 17:20). Faith is not about size but sincerity.

Even the smallest seed of faith can grow into something magnificent. Every step, no matter how small, is a step toward moving that mountain. Your tiny faith is powerful enough to change the world.

 "…If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).

Please leave a comment below on your experience with faith or doubt.

With love beyond measure,

Lift Your Eyes Beyond Life's Battles: A Vision of Hope

 
Gaze beyond. Lift your eyes from the daily battles—the wounds, the flaws, and the regrets—and peer into eternity. Those who endure the deepest suffering on this earth are chosen for a breathtaking destiny (2 Corinthians 4:17). In this temporary, sometimes arduous existence, you are molding and enriching your eternity through your attitudes and responses.

Focusing on possibilities and solutions while maintaining hope and finding joy in the present creates a sense of gratitude and purpose. I find pleasure in such attitudes from you (Hebrews 11:6). Failures are just feedback and opportunity for

When you weep, My heart breaks

 

Have you ever felt abandoned in your deepest pain? Know this: I feel every ounce of what you feel. In the dark night of your soul, in your storm, in your confusion, and in your sadness, I Am there. I Am not distant or indifferent; I Am the God who suffers alongside you, and My heart breaks with yours (Isaiah 63:9). I Am present in all places at all times, dwelling in the depths of your being, fully sharing in your sorrow and your struggle. I Am on the side of the sufferer, weeping with you, My beloved.

I, too, have suffered and sorrowed. I have been despised, rejected, and acquainted with grief. I carry your burdens and your pain upon My shoulders (Isaiah 53:2–5). I know the weight of this world.

I am closer than your tears, closer than your breath. You are never invisible to Me. I see you, crushed in spirit, and with My mighty right arm, I will save you.

Tossed But Not Torn: Deliverance from the Storm

Oh, My precious child, tossed and torn, weary and bruised. I am with you, now and always, to heal your wounds and calm your storm.

 Life's storms can strike without warning, leaving you feeling lost and overwhelmed, like a ship battling raging waves in the dead of night. But even in the fiercest tempest, I am a Light that never falters. Your emotions may scream that you are about to lose everything. You may be tossed every which way until you lose your sense of direction. But I am the Lighthouse. I am the Light that shows you the way. I am with you in the storm, yet I am never tossed about. Instead, I am anchored on solid ground, unwavering, guiding you safely Home.

If you will fix your eyes on My Light, on Me, and make one small positive choice, you will reach your destination. You will find safety. You will find deliverance. For as it is written, "The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all."

One of these things is not like the others

 

When owls lay eggs they don’t hatch into cats. In the same way, cucumber seeds never produce onions, celery, or corn on the cob. Tulip bulbs do not turn into zinnias, evergreen trees, or forget-me-nots. In nature, you will always reap what you have sown because seeds can only reproduce according to their genetic code (Genesis 1:11-12, 24 NLT).

However, surprisingly, there is a beautiful exception to this rule: "Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy" (Psalm 126:5 NIV). If you have cried yourself to sleep countless times and have faced sorrow, depression, disappointment, and sadness, do not give up. Joy is on the way! Your tears are a secret weapon that have nourished the seeds of joy I have planted in the garden of your life. Difficult times and sorrows are the fertile ground where joy and blessings grow. One day soon joy will satisfy your soul.

I see your tears, and I want you to know they are not wasted. There’s a garden of joy growing right where you stand. Take a moment to look back on your journey—where has joy unexpectedly bloomed in the midst of your struggles? Your joy is on its way. Keep tending to your heart with hope, knowing that the harvest will be more joyful than you can imagine.
