All things are possible to one who believes.

Mark 9:22b-24, But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”

This father had enough faith to bring his son to Jesus disciples who were unable to do anything about it. Who can blame him for having his own doubts about their master? But when challenged by Jesus, he rises immediately seeking help from the giver of faith itself. When we are short of faith, we know that we can ask for help and by his great grace we will receive it. Give thanks today that all things are possible for one who believes!

We thank you for the gift of faith of mustard seed proportions that can move mountains!
