ONCE UPON A TIME
there lived a
little boy
who planted a carrot seed
BUT
his mother
his father
his brother
all told him
“It won’t come up”.
BUT
the little boy
watered his carrot seed every day
BUT
everyone still told him
“It won’t come up”.
BUT
the little boy
still tended to his little seed
watering
&
weeding
with a confidence
that
"It would come up",
despite all the
“BUTS”
from everyone.
BUT
then one day
it happened...
"It came up"~
A Carrot
bigger than his eyes could ever imagine
bigger than
his mother's
his father's &
his brother's eyes
could ever imagine~
the ones who
believed
“It won’t come up”.
Oh
to have the childlike faith as this little boy.
Yes, "The Carrot Seed" (Ruth Krauss) is a fictional story
BUT
is it really?
What is the carrot seed in your life~
that something that you are tending to in faith
even though
nothing appears to be growing?
What "BUTs" do you need to weed out?
BUT
if you have faith like a child~
A Child~like faith
to believe
to receive
with thanksgiving
All Who God says He is
All Who God desires to be for you
All Who Jesus is for you
BUT
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed Matthew 17:20
A Moving Faith
that presses forward
even when you see nothing growing.
A Trusting Faith
in the
One
Who created the seed in the first place...
Trusting in the One
Who grows something out of the something
that you plant in His soil
because
He is the One
Who
says
"It will come up".
Just you wait and see
because
He
grows something beautiful
something so much bigger from the
something that is so much smaller
despite the weeds of
BUTS.
So
Let's
PUT ME IN HIS STORY
this
Little Boy's Story
who had a big
Child~Like Faith
of
A committed faith~
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act. Psalm 37:5
because...
It will come up.
