Faith in our Hearts

Walk with Jesus!

7 He summoned the Twelve[a] and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 [b]He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick—no food, no sack, no money in their belts. 9 They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic. 10 [c]He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. 11 Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.” 12 So they went off and preached repentance. 13 [d]They drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.-Mark6:7-13

How does it take to be a missionary? What must one do to have a "staying" power? I realized that we, humans, cannot do anything on our own. Everything comes from God and through God. Some people say we should unlock our potentials so that the "superhuman" in us will come out. These people even justify it by quoting Jesus' Words, "... you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." But the truth is this, Jesus said, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." It is through faith that we can move mountains. But faith is something that did not originate in us but is still a call, an invitation a grace and gift from God for us to accept and respond.
