Every day we grow something. Skin, hair, waist…something begins anew. When we cut ourselves, our body grows new skin and repairs itself. Our hair constantly replenishes itself, and I’m sure you’ve had to cut your nails in the past week or two.
Our body is set to automatically take care of these things that need to continue to grow, but growing our faith? That one is up to us. Just as the things entrusted to our care, such as plants, children, and animals need extra care, so does our faith.
How do we grow faith?
It takes a mixture of trust, belief, and devotion. Trust in the ones who have led the way for us to follow. Belief in something we can’t see – after all, that’s what faith is, isn’t it? And devotion? We must put our hearts and minds into that which we have faith in. We follow it. It doesn’t mean we don’t question, but we ultimately believe in that which we are following.
How are you growing your faith in Jesus today?
“He said to them, ‘Because of your faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.’ ” Matthew 17:20
