What is faith? For me, Faith is trust that God is who he says he is. That God is true to his word: specifically that He is a god of love who has my best interest at heart, like the perfect parent. So I do not need to have a great deal of faith. In fact, Jesus said (since I believe that he knew more about God than I do) that "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this tree, 'be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you." What does that mean? Does that mean if I have faith I can go around doing the impossible: uprooting trees and sending them into the sea? If I metaphorically uproot no trees in my life, did I not have enough faith? This thinking is based on a bad assumption. It assumes that faith is in one's power - and having enough faith WE can do the supernatural. This assumes that God is a genie. That if we possess enough of something we can muster ourselves, that God will do our bidding. It is backwards.
