A Mustard Seed
If you were not raised on a farm, you may not know how a mustard seed looks. Imagine a grain of rice broken into four equal pieces or a single ground of regular coffee. That is very tiny indeed. Something that small is what Jesus was referring to with these statements:
Luke 13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 18:8 .. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Luke 8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
You heard Jesus ask the question! He wants to know, "WHERE IS YOUR FAITH"? Since we all live in TWO TIME ZONES, you know where he is! In the bottomless pit we have 24 hour days. It is “TODAY” UP THERE ALL THE TIME, and he is WITH US IN POWER as he sits on Father's Throne! Don't you REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID?
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So where you are at your computer, tablet or mobile phone reading this, feel free to tell him your answer. Firstly, do you have ANY FAITH at all?
Every Word that comes from Father's mouth is defined as "TRUTH". All you have to do is BELIEVE GOD and it will be "counted as righteousness" as it was for faithful Abraham.
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
We have all heard that hymn, "What A Friend We Have in Jesus". Do you want to be a friend to Jesus? I am going to give you one mustard seed sized text written in Jesus' blood and quite visible if you have a redletter edition of the Bible.

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

I am tempted to bolster that WORD Jesus spoke with supporting texts, but we are discussing ONE MUSTARD SEED, not many of them. Whose will is done on Earth as it is in Heaven according to the Lord’s prayer? Will He HAVE HIS WAY ANYWAY all DAY "TODAY"?! Both Jesus and the Father HAVE YOU IN FOCUS. They are resting on the Throne and watching to see what you will do with this! They will not GO AWAY and "Leave you alone"!
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
