A Mustard Seed of Faith

 FAITH
If ye have FAITH as a
 grain of  MUSTARD SEED...
mountains move,
nothing shall be impossible.

As I study the minuscule MUSTARD SEED,

it appears that only a speck of  FAITH is required to do great things.

I have thought at times,
my FAITH certainly
outsized that of this seed.

Yet my personal mountains remain.

Is my  FAITH inadequate?

Have I placed FAITH in the wrong places?

Have I withheld even a speck of BELIEF that my mountains
 will ever move?

If a  MUSTARD SEED  has potential
to move mountains,

even a speck of UNBELIEF can certainly stop them.

Recently, I read in the Book of Mormon:

And whatsoever ye shall  ask the Father in my name,

which is  right,

believing that ye shall receive,

behold it shall be given unto you

3 Nephi 18:20

Those are key words:

ask

right 

believing

If everyone were to ask for mountains to be moved
 just to see if it would happen,

it would appear to be more of "a proof"
than an act of  FAITH.

Is what I ask in FAITH

RIGHT?

Is there more for me to learn from this mountain?

Is my  MUSTARD SEED of FAITH whole?

or

Is there a speck of  UNBELIEF lurking inside?

Is my  FAITH  placed in the appropriate source?

Is my  FAITH  in the name of Christ?

It is Christ that rebuked the devil out of the child.

It was FAITH in Christ that even a touch of His robe made the woman whole.

It was BELIEF in the words of Jesus'

"be not afraid, only believe"

that Jairus' daughter rose from the dead.

From "Walking with the Savior"

"If our lives and our  FAITH are centered on Jesus Christ and His restored gospel,

nothing can ever go permanently wrong.

On the other hand, if our lives are not centered

on the Savior,

no other success can ever be permanently right."

Howard W. Hunter

 Is my eye fixed on the Savior...

my home,

my heart,

my thoughts,

centered on

Christ?

Maybe my  FAITH  needs a bit of a remodel...

nothing outlandish,

just the size of a 

MUSTARD SEED
