He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." -- Matthew 13:31-32

A little faith can go a very long way.  The odds of you accomplishing something is far greater when you believe you can do it-- much more than if you were to try doing something you didn't believe possible.   If we believe there can be peace, chances are there will be.  If we believe we can love one another in the way Jesus taught us, chances are we can.  If we believe that God's future for us is bright, chances are it will be.  Some say you have to see it to believe it.  I say you have to believe it to be able to see it!
