Verily Say unto This Mountain

Matthew 21:21
21. Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.


You are small, you are little, and you cannot do great things.
You are thin, you are weak, and you cannot be powerful.
You are random, you are temporary, and you cannot have importance.
A wisp of matter,
a drop of water,
a breath of air;
What are you to the mighty, the strong, the men and moments of substance?
What are you... but... the start?
Say unto this mountain to be removed and the flimsy mists shall come...
the small drop of water shall touch the temporal earth and it shall begin.
The will is weighty and, though the way is weak,
the word spoken in truth shall be fulfilled.
For goodness is in accord with the nature of the thing;
and all that appears weak, lowly, insignificant, is, with true faith, faith in truth,
revealed and seen for what it really is.
No matter the seeming impossibility of the desire,
if what is desired is the fulfillment of goodness,
the fruition of humility, the maturation of selfless love,
that resists not what is to be, but yields forth to the coming of am --
then no power is of greater worth.

For shall the cowardice in my heart be forced out by muscle?
Or shall bravery come only with one tiny "yes"...
sighed in tremulous breath from an unwavering knowledge of the good.
