HE GAVE ME THIS TINY MUSTARD SEED
Thank You Lord
for this measure of faith
given equally to all
small enough to fit comfortably
in a little tiny mustard seed
and big enough to move mountains
I thank You Lord
for it is real
faith is my umbilical cord
connecting me
to You
Faith is a mighty gift
and You have given it freely
saying use it if you will
whenever you will
and it will always work
it doesn’t go bad
or atrophy
it is a strong
little seed
and powerful
indeed intended to last
our whole life long
I love having it and learning more about how it works
My whole life has changed
I remember the day
I found it and how
on that day
when I spoke the Name
of Jesus
that little seed
opened up
and I became
a new creationand
Immediately
it grew and
filled in
all my broken places and
dark corners and
I was filled
with joy
and with a peace
that surpassed all
my understanding
it was just amazing
and I felt awed
and grateful
and safe
and loved
and I knew
instantly
that I needed to know more
So I have studied
and served
and praised
and come to know
that all things
are possible
for those
who believe
Yet from that first day
I could undo
the works of the devil
I could speak
in new tongues
I could lay hands on
the sick
and they would recover
and I knew that.
And I knew that
no poison could harm me
and now
a year later
I still have
that same little seed
but now
it is deeply rooted
in my heart
and no wind or weapon
aimed against it
can prosper
for I know
beyond the shadow
of any doubt
that I am God’s property
and therefore
entitled to His whole inheritance
I am anointed
through Christ Jesus
to spread the
good news
and I have been given
an awesome
paper route
and just like God,
I will deliver.
