For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. (Romans 12: 3)

Faith is not some special commodity which is only given to a select few. According to this passage, to each person, God has dealt a measure of faith. Therefore, the question is never whether or not we have faith. The question is what are we doing with the faith we have?

A measure of faith is like a seed which, if properly cultivated, can grow into a huge tree. A measure of faith is like a caterpillar which after a period of incubation comes forth transformed into a beautiful butterfly. A measure of faith is like a baby conceived in a womb that grows into a wonderful woman or a mighty man. The focus should not be on the size of the measure, but on the fact that we all have a measure. Hence, the measure of a person is not how much faith he or she has. The true test is how much he or she feeds and develops that measure into miracles.
