“Because you have little faith,” he said. “I assure you that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Go from here to there,’ and it will go. There will be nothing that you can’t do” (Matthew 17:20, CEB).

“A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day”     (Proverbs 15:13, MSG).

       There is much to trouble the soul these days. I don’t care to elaborate on our world’s concerns. There’s more than enough bad news to go around to sink the human heart into despair. Too many of us are feeling as low as a bow-legged caterpillar.

“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.”

(John 14:13-14, ESV).
