With some things it will, without a doubt, be\u00a0a struggle\u00a0to let go. With others we will find\u00a0it\u00a0very easy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It&#8217;s a sacrifice we all make willingly, giving up <em>our<\/em> plan to trust Him with <em>His<\/em> plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Our faith starts off the size of a\u00a0mustard seed. Some\u00a0people&#8217;s\u00a0faith will stay that size. They are very comfortable with it being that size. Some people\u00a0may lose even their mustard-seed-sized faith\u00a0and walk away from God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">But, If we truly want it to\u00a0grow, we must choose to\u00a0take the\u00a0personal\u00a0steps God\u00a0has for each one of us. As we do that, our faith in Him will grow. Our walk will get stronger and we will get more clarity of vision as we go. And we will begin to live a more abundant life!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The key to walking and living by faith is to take that mustard-seed-sized bit of faith that He has given to each one of us and let it work.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This means getting His direction and answers <em>before <\/em>we take our steps, not after. And then we walk it out, step by step, day by day.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">As we do this, and we see Him move on our behalf, that little tiny mustard seed will begin to grow and get stronger. Before we know it, it&#8217;s no longer small as a mustard seed, but strong and mighty in Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Trust Him with our lives today.
