And the Apostles said, “Lord, increase our faith”. And the Lord said, “If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this tree, ‘ be rooted up and replanted in the sea’, and it would obey you at once."
Luke 17:6

Faith is the power of the Father to accomplish in the heart of His children what he will. And because of the all-embracing and consuming love of the Father for each child He will not exercise this power without the willing and loving consent of that child. For freedom to choose gives opportunity for growth. Sadly, the reverse also is true: unwillingness and failure to choose prevents growth and maturity; and persistence in choosing the wrong way results in loss of identity, purpose, and – if persisted in – the soul’s very life.

But the spark of faith which rarely dies in the soul of each person I fan into flame. My light perpetually beckons and enlightens, so that each person is able to take the next step or make the next leap.

Countless millions have progressed and are proceeding thus, and there are not a few sturdy souls whom the world calls saints. These are the children of the Father who have rarely hesitated or stumbled. But when they did they let Me place them on the way again, rejoicing. So is there rejoicing throughout the whole of the Father’s Kingdom for the fulfilment of the soul which has persevered in faith and triumphed in love into the Kingdom.
