Recently, My husband was outside with all of our children playing in the yard. Our 6 year old pointed a dandelion out to her dad and said, "Look dad, we're growing wishes". Oh how much this moment shows to us a childlike perspective. Full of excitement and purpose, she was ecstatic over a simple dandelion in the yard.
How can that leave fingerprints on us? The verse that comes to mind for me...
And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. Luke 17:6
Just like our 6 year old excited about "growing wishes", we can be that excited about growing faith. A mustard seed is oh so tiny. It just takes that small amount on our part and God will grow it and then we can plant it anywhere and every where we go. Like the dandelion that spreads and grows as children are blowing it's seeds into the wind, so can our faith and ultimately, the good news of the gospel be spread and grown.
Are you growing in faith and spreading the good news? Are you leaving fingerpints?
