Mountain – move

1Corinthians 13

Love

1 I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. 2 I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains—but if I have no love, I am nothing. 3 I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned—but if I have no love, this does me no good.

4 Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; 5 love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; 6 love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. 7 Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

8 Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass. 9 For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial; 10 but when what is perfect comes, then what is partial will disappear.

11 When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child; now that I am an adult, I have no more use for childish ways. 12 What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. What I know now is only partial; then it will be complete—as complete as God's knowledge of me.

13 Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.

If my faith is the size of a mustard seed will it really move mountains?
Will it? Really? REALLY?
I feel as though my faith couldn’t move anything never mind a mountain. 
But – I think YOU can move mountains. I believe you can do anything.
Lord Jesus, if you can rise from the dead what is there left that you can’t do?
Right – I have mountains before me and I have a God who can move them.
Lord, will you move the mountain anxiety? The mountain of self-doubt? 
The mountain of despair? The mountain of worthlessness?
Mountain – move!
In Jesus’ name. Amen
