YOU HAVE ALL THE FAITH YOU NEED
Jesus' disciples once asked him to increase their faith. They felt that their faith was not up to the task. You may feel the same way. Your faith seems too small to have an impact on the monumental challenges that litter the landscape of your life. You wish you had a large amount of faith so you could make big things happen. You act as if faith is a commodity, and if you somehow had more, you could turn your life around. Although it may seem that bigger is better, you really don't need to worry about the size of your faith.
Faith isn't about size. Jesus said if you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could move mountains. Jesus was saying that faith doesn't come in small, medium, or large sizes. Faith is either present or absent. If it's absent, your life is full of limitations, and you are stuck in Nowhere Land. If it's present, you can move mountains.
You never need to worry if you have enough faith to move mountains. Any faith is enough to start moving in a positive direction. You will always have sufficient faith to be the best you can be and do the best you can do.
Jesus said that faith makes it possible to move mountains. Moving mountains is exciting stuff. The problem is there are so many mountains that seem to be staying right where they are.
If it was up to us, moving mountains would be ninety-nine percent faith and one percent hard work. When we encountered a mountain, we would have a chat with God about how the mountain needed to be moved, and if He gave us the go ahead, we would exercise our faith, and the mountain would disappear into the sea. In a few effortless minutes, another mountain would bite the dust. We could move our mountains without lifting a finger. Unfortunately, that's not how faith works.
In the real world, moving mountains is ten percent faith and ninety percent hard work. Faith tells you it's possible, and hard work makes it happen. When Jesus said your faith could move mountains, he didn't say how long it would take or how many people would help you. It may take years to move your mountains. Nevertheless, the mountains will move if you get out your shovel and start working.
Mountains don't move in an instant; they move one shovel full at a time. When you ask God to move your mountain, God hands you a shovel and tells you to start digging. When you lift your first shovel of dirt, you instantly become a mover of mountains.
