When Faith Seems Small ...Or Not at All

A dear mentor of mine once said, "God accepts the littlest 'Yes' you give Him."

How small my faith feels some times.  But even God says that if your faith is as small as a mustard seed--and that is pretty small, tiny, puny even--God can take it and do great things.

A man once said to Jesus, "Lord, I believe.  Help my unbelief."

Little things seem to matter to Jesus ...big time.  Quite clearly, if He is for us--He is for us!

"A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out..." --Matthew 12:20

May your heart be encouraged today with the knowledge that God is for you, and that He takes the most minute faith and blesses it for His glory.

If your faith feels bruised, fragile--or your heart's flame merely smoldering--may your heart be filled with courage to know the gentle love of God to strengthen and fan to flame that which seems to be all but dead wihtin you.

And if you have no faith at all, may you find the courage and humility to believe in Jesus.
