“Several years ago I visited the Holy Land. As we drove by a
mustard plant, the director of the BYU Jerusalem Center asked if I had ever
seen a mustard seed. He showed me seeds from the mustard plant. They were
surprisingly small. I then remembered Jesus’s teachings: ‘Verily I say unto
you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall
be impossible unto you.’ If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, the Lord
can help us remove the mountains of discouragement and doubt in the tasks ahead
of us as we serve with God’s children. Brothers and sisters, life can be filled
with faith, joy, happiness, hope, and love when we exercise the smallest amount
of real faith in Christ—even a mustard seed of faith.” – President M. Russell
Ballard
