Jesus loved to tell stories. One of his favorite stories is the story of the mustard seed (see Matthew 13:31 and 17:20). In this story Jesus tells us about the power of faith. The mustard seed is one of the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into a very large tree. Jesus is telling us that our faith is like a tiny mustard seed that grows and grows and becomes a giant tree. Our actions of love for God and for others are actions of faith. They are like tiny mustard seeds. They will grow into a mighty tree.
