FAITH... part two

(click the title and scroll down to the bottom of the page to read part one)

What is FAITH?
The other day my sister Claire was reciting the verse, and without faith it is impossible to please God. Ana was sitting right there in Mom's lap, and as little ones do they chose a word of your sentence to repeat and to ask what is it. So this is the word she chose,
FAITH.
She said, "Mommy, what is FAITH?" A TWO YEAR OLD! Asking what faith is. You might say it's just a coincidence that she choose that word, but we know it is not. And so Mom gave her the simple answer, "Believing God." Believing God? Just believing God that he will be faithful. Truly just believing God. That's having faith. Over the past week or so, faith has been popping in every corner of our life. We were out of town Thanksgiving weekend, we went to another church. Guess what the preacher taught about, faith! God says if you have just have faith as small as a mustard seed, and then it will grow. A mustard seed is pretty small. Tiny. If YOU have FAITH as small as a mustard seed.
"...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small
as a mustard seed, you can say to the mountain,
move from here to there and it will move..."
Matthew 17:20
We just have to have Faith as small as a mustard seed. We just have to Believe God. What is FAITH? It's Believing God.
