The Master, sitting among his disciples\u2019.<\/h6>\n
Their hearts still full of doubt.<\/h6>\n
He speaks to them in parables, hoping they\u2019ll understand what he\u2019s talking about.<\/h6>\n
Shaded under the big old tree, he begins, \u201cOh ye of little faith!\u201d<\/h6>\n
Then using this analogy, he shows them a tiny seed.<\/h6>\n
Do you not know that from this tiny seed, the tree you rest under has grown?<\/h6>\n
Faith the size of this tiny seed, can deliver you, if you\u2019ll only believe.<\/h6>\n
Listening in awe and wonder their eyes open wide, \u201cOh Master why have we doubted you?<\/h6>\n
Jesus, help us always to abide. With faith this size, we now realize, the power is not in us.<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s believing in you with all our hearts, that we must live and trust.<\/h6>\n
Showing us the tiny seed and how it\u2019s grown into this magnificent tree.<\/h6>\n
There is nothing we can\u2019t accomplish if we, simply, have faith and believe.<\/h6>\n
To remain planted in your mighty word. Watered and nurturing what we have heard,<\/h6>\n
will produce an insurmountable multitude of faith here, on earth.<\/h6>\n
Your kingdom come; Your will be done,\u201d They prayed and all agreed\u2026<\/h6>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll use the faith that has been planted here from this tiny seed.\u201d<\/h6>\n
The mustard seed is just a seed, until it\u2019s planted and watered, then it begins to grow.<\/h6>\n
One life touched from a tiny seed, produces possibilities when we believe, even though we cannot see, if we\u2019ll just have faith as tiny as a mustard seed.<\/h6>\n
\u201cFor truly I tell 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 for you.\u201d Matthew 17:20-21<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n
~Marla Shaw O\u2019Neill March 21, 2024<\/h6>\n
How big is the tree from a mustard seed?<\/strong> 20-30 feet<\/h6>\n
The mustard seed is very tiny; 1-2 millimeters in diameter, yet when fully grown, the tree can be as tall as 20-30 feet with branches and leaves spanning across another 20 feet circumference. The magnificence of the mustard tree is not really in the height but in how wide the branches can span.<\/h6>\n
What is the spiritual meaning of the mustard seed?<\/strong>\u00a0Our faith can become a source of strength and reliance for others, even if it starts as small as a mustard seed. The mustard seed serves as a profound reminder of the transformative power of faith. It teaches us that with unwavering belief, we can conquer the seemingly impossible and inspire those around us.<\/h6>\n
