Have you ever asked God to help you increase your faith?

It's not a mystery how the Lord responds to that question because the disciples already asked for us in Luke 17.

Jesus answered by explaining how faith comes as a seed. It may seem very small, but it contains everything you need to produce great miracles.

Then, Jesus continues by explaining how to cultivate the growth of that seed. And the answer is very simple.

Serve God by doing what He told you to do. And then, when you get to the end of yourself, serve Him some more.

For faith to grow, God must be the master of our lives.

Our heart must yearn to serve Him, not to earn something or to be noticed, but simply from an attitude of love and reverence for your Father and Master.

The ground in which the seed of faith grows is our heart. So, it's not about the action of obedience. It's about the heart of obedience.

When your heart yearns to obey, faith is growing as you live out of your desire to serve the One who created you.
