Once a family doctor comes to his patient and says, "By the way, I have a good news and a bad news for you..." The bad news is I operated on the wrong knee and the good news is your bad knee is getting lot better.
Once a gallary owner looks at one of his painters and says, "By the way, I have a good news and a bad news for you". The good news is a man asked whether the price of your paints would go up after you die and when I said, "Yes". He bought every one of your painting. The bad news is he is your family doctor.
1.Have you ever thought of your faith being a living and growing thing? That is why we should feed our faith and our doubt will starve to death. Little faith bring your soul to heaven but great faith will bring heaven to your soul. Reading through the bible from the beginning, we will see that there is one consistent theme or thing that is God's great love and compassion towards us. His love is unchangeble and everlasting. There is no greater motivation for faith than knowing this that God is absolutely for us. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to enjoy life to the fullest and He wants us to succeed in everything.
2. The Apostles came to Christ and said, "Please increase our faith. Supersize our faith. We see you doing miracles and wonders and we see you changing water into wine and walking on water and we see you transfiguring and doing amazing things and we on the other hand, can not do much. Please increase our faith.
Once a teacher stood in front of his students and said, "I will give you hundred dollars to anyone who tells me where God is and one boy stood up and said, "I will give you hundred dollars and if you tell me where God is not..." That is called faith in God. God's presence is everywhere. Our moral life has its source in faith in God who reveals His love to us. And ignorance of God is the principle and explanation of all moral deviations.
3. The Apostles ask Christ today to increase their faith. They did have faith in God. As we have faith in God, we should also know how to protect our faith in God. There are various ways of sinning against faith. For example, doubt in what God has revealed to us, doubt in the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church and if we are not aware of what is going on in and around us, it will lead us to spiritual blindness.
There are incredulity(deying the revealed truth), heresy(post-baptismal denial), apostasy(total refusal of the Christian faith...hindus, muslims) and schism(refusal to listen to the Roman pontiff) against our faith.
4. When it comes with God, little is much and as the apostles asked to increase their faith, Christ our Lord says, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountain and nature will obey you, people will listent to you....all you need is faith...faith the size of a mustard seed. As we look at any seed, we know that in it, there is a great potentiality to life. Life is there to come out. It may fall into any place, it will break or destroy all the obstacles and will sprout.
5. Faith helps us not God to be our side but we to be on God's side.
One night a house caught fire and a boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, "Jump! I'll catch you." He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As can be imagined, he was afraid to leave the roof. His father kept yelling: "Jump! I will catch you." But the boy protested, "Daddy, I can't see you." The father replied, "But I can see you and that's all that matters."
Our faith can move mountains but our doubts can create them. Faith does not make things easy but possible.
The size of a mustard seed faith can easily move the mountains of our pain and suffering. It can remove our family problems and will fill us withe hope and love. Faith helps us to say like St. paul
Faith is like wi-fi. It is invisible but it has the power to connect you to what you need.
Are you looking for a man loving, kind, caring, giving, generous and very rich? Please be patient. Jesus is coming soon.
