Ella: Mom, do you remember that verse in the Bible where it says "Amen I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Me: Yes.
Ella: Well, I've got faith. So, I went to the backyard and I looked at that pile of dirt I made, and I told it to move. But it didn't. It just sat there. I guess I know why nothing happened. The Bible also tells us that we shouldn't put the Lord to the test, and I was putting Him to the test. It figures the dirt wouldn't move.
I love this. This is the faith that we are all called to have. I wish that my faith were always so pure. If I told the dirt to move and it didn't, I would assume it was because my words can't make objects move. That thought never even crossed Ella's mind. She believes, and she trusts completely in God's word. I want to be more like her.
