Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

Not just the disciples... I too have prayed to God many times.

...I thought that if my faith were stronger, if it grew stronger... I might be able to do great work... 🤔
...However, Jesus' reply was... "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can command the mulberry tree to 'get up and take root in the sea,' and it will be done to you."
..."A mustard seed"... 🤔
✳️...A ​​mustard seed is a tiny seed, only 1-2 millimeters in size.
...My faith...is so small that I don't even possess faith as small as a mustard seed 😨💦
...The world of faith is not a world where you accomplish all of this by your own power. God is at work.
...It is a world where you entrust yourself to Him.
So it's not that you don't have to do anything,
...I do the best I can.
After that, I entrust it to the Lord❗️.
...Personally, I tend to leave it up to the results...😅

Shalom 😃
