For those who have served well

| | Meditation 8/10-8/16 Mustard Seed Faith: Luke 17:1-6 NLT
Have Faith...Like a Mustard Seed
Teachings about Forgiveness and Faith
One day Jesus said to his disciples, "There will always be temptations to sin, but how terrible it will be for the person who does the tempting. It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around the neck than to face the punishment in store for harming one of these little ones. I am warning you! If another believer sins, rebuke him; then if he repents, forgive him. Even if he wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, forgive him."
One day the apostles said to the Lord, "We need more faith; tell us how to get it."
"Even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed," the Lord answered, "you could say to this mulberry tree, 'May God uproot you and throw you into the sea,' and it would obey you!
Luke 17:1-6 NLT
