God offers us the gift of faith, but each of us must accept it. We must allow it to take root in our hearts and grow but that doesn’t mean that our faith needs to become an imposing monolith; Jesus reminds us that faith the size of a mustard seed is sufficient. It’s not how much faith we have, it’s what God does with our faith that is crucial. God gives us the power, love, and self-control of his Holy Spirit. God gives us the faith and love of his Son, Jesus Christ. God, who is love, gives us everything we need. Our duty is to do what he commands, to love and serve him in faith. So, how do we hold fast to that simple duty?
