Matthew 17:20
“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.”
You feel it. The version of you on the other side of “this”: grounded, free, able to move mountains. But there is what most of us do not know about growth: it is birth, beautiful and painful. It is grief, sorrowful and beautiful. The truth is that the mustard seed cannot grow without first being buried in the darkness and broken open by the force building within. Faith grows strongest in our darkest days. The door that did not open. The relationship that failed. Those were not endings, but beginnings. A chance for salvation, for revelation. It is through the crack in the seed that the plant climbs upward to the light and downward towards strong roots. It is in the light, through the rain, and against the wind that it grows stronger, immovable in its truth, unshakable in the face of a storm. That kind of faith takes sacrifice, to know without knowing, to trust that something greater lies beyond your darkest moments. The version of you that he is calling you to be. It is still there. You know what He is asking you to do. You know what to surrender. So let go. Crack open. And let yourself grow.
