my small faith

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of 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

“micro-faith” was Your favorite term

for Your disciples on the earth

they followed, they learned

they tried, they failed

in failure You taught them to trust

God more than what little faith mustered

they heard, they were astonished

they tried, they failed

You told them that though small

faith could grow a kingdom from a mustard seed

You told them more than once

but did they really hear You?

my little faith is also apparent

when I rush to trust and keep my own appearance

I follow, I learn

I try and I also fail

in my failure You call me to believe

in You and in that trust I can receive

I hear You and am astonished

I try and still fail

I trust You when You say even small faith

can do all the things that are great

You will tell me more than once I’m sure

O Lord, I really do believe You!
