An Amazing Mustard Seed
A mustard seed is very small, but in only three months it can grow and produce a mature harvest. Amazing growth in a short space of time. We may feel quite small and vulnerable, wondering if we can sustain recovery. We can take hope from what Jesus is saying about the mustard seed.
If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is enough. You can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there.” And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:20-21 NIRV)
If we take the little bit of faith we have, enter the process of "coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity," and turn our will and our lives over to God's care, then in even the short space of 90 days amazing changes can be ours. Our faith is not in our own ability but in God's unfailing love and power to strengthen and support us in our life in recovery.
Mustard on hamburgers, hot dogs, or ham sandwiches makes them taste even better. Mustard leaves add wonderful flavour to salad greens and are good for our digestive system. Mustard oil has healing benefits as a health-boosting agent. Who knew a little seed could make such a difference?
No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9 ERV)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I want to have faith, even faith as small as a mustard seed, to trust You to make something beautiful of my life. I commit to following You in all my ways in the recovery process. Please give me the will and the power to do so. Amen
