“The tiniest bit of faith can change everything.”
It was a dreary drive into work yesterday. The skies were gray and it was sprinkling rain. We have been having a dry spell and we really needed the rain so I tried to be thankful. But, as I hurried across the parking lot to my building, everything looked so gloomy that I was having a hard time staying positive.
About halfway across, my knee started aching and it caused me to look down and when I did, some green grass caught my eye. It was pushing up through the cracks in defiant contrast to the gloom. As I glanced around, there were more patches all over the lot. They made me smile.
I suspect that the people who are in charge of the maintenance of that lot, do not like that grass at all. They probably go to great lengths to get rid of it, yet against the odds, with sun and yes, enough rain, the grass finds a way to persevere.
That defiant grass stayed on my mind for the rest of the day. It reminded me of the faith that we so desperately need these days. Sometimes our circumstances seem so desperate that we believe our lives will never get better, but the tiniest bit of stubborn faith can make all the difference.
Jesus said, “You don’t have enough faith, I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there, and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20
In case you wondered, mustard seeds are tiny.
That parking lot grass reminded me that no matter how dark and gloomy our days may seem, a little faith can beat all of the odds. Sometimes I need reminding.
Have an awesome day!
