Mountains

To do small things with great love is the secret to having a faith that moves mountains.  Christ doesn't give us faith to perform flashy miracles to glorify ourselves.  He gives us faith that we might labor in small things, moving one pebble at a time, so slowly - but with great love - so that from Eternity we might see the mountains moved, the souls touched.  Just imagine: were we to see the mountain to be moved, we would despair.  Our little souls would know their weakness, would faint at the thought of attempting so vast a task.  Instead, the Lord gives us a few talents, and asks us to spend them wisely.  And when found trustworthy with these little things, gives us greater tasks.  But always we are with Him, and He shares in our burden, yoked to us, and gives to us only that share of the weight which we can handle, that we might grow stronger.
