Lord, help me have Faith for the impossible
There was this small clear glass ball that looked like a large marble hanging from a gold chain. inside the ball was the tiniest seed. a mustard seed. looking at this, a boy wondered why did they bother putting a seed in there so small he cld hardly see it. obvioulsly, he didn't get the point.
it wasn't until years later that he learn't the significance of that little seed. jesus said:" if you have faith as 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." (matthew 17:20) since he thot a lot about how tiny tt seed was. he decided if that's all the faith it takes to move a mountain, then surely he can come up with enough faith to move the mountains in his life. God can make the tiniest bit of faith we have and make it grow into sth big when we act on it. That means he has alr given us some faith to start with. But when we take action on our faith - step out n do sth tt takes faith on our part to do - God increases it.
we hv no idea what great things God wants to do thru us if we will jus step out in faith when he asks us to. thats why he lets us go thru some diff times. times when we feel so vulnerable n weak. he allows some things to happen so tt we will turn to him n give him our full attention. it's in those times, when we are forced to pray in greater faith, tt our faith grows stronger. "according to ur faith let it be to you" (Matthew 9:29). this cld be a frightgening thot, depending on the kind of faith we have.
and.. i'm still not ending yet. cos i got story to tell. haha.. since it's on the topic on faith. and someone chose this topic for me. well, it's the tale of the missing wallet. this wallet of mine jus had to go missing at e worst of times. when everything wasn't going well, then it happens. double/triple scolding from parents. and having cash flow issues, making new card n everything will cost $. and tt was when i was Forced to pray. yes.. but somehow aft everyday the feeling of my wallet cmg back was.. like 50%. maybe i was living in my own world, so i dreamt tt i still had it. yet i knew tt reality it's missing. then day aft day.. prayed, promised and begged for my precious to come back..only like 3 days aft it went missing it suddenly appeared. just a little soaked cos of the rain. but.. kinda creepy cos i thot it was lost at hougang/at home but it appeared in my letter box. wondered if God planned it cos i... then it struck. cld feel my heart beating really fast n started to recall the times i simply jus prayed to God. and in e prayer it had tt word FAITH repeating.. cos i told him tt i put my faith in him. tho i admitted my faith was rather small.. because.. yet, because of tt small faith i had, God increased it, and wallet came back safe n sound. :) yep, counted as testimonial ba.
ok, rather long. so shall end wih mark 9:23. dun b lazy.. check it out urself. :)
