Matthew 17:20 English Standard Version (ESV)
20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

A little back story about the start of my Journey to Faith.   I was not at all interested in religion or faith.  Do not get me wrong being born in 1954 and raised in the Midwest during that time, religion was a huge part of your life growing up.  I just was resistant to anything that felt forced on me.   That is until a small group of us that hung out together started doing our church classes for baptism.   This was in 1966.
At first, I said not interested.  Two things happen, a mom being embarrassed and a girl.  The mom being embarrassed got me to the classes but the girl in the class I had a crush on kept me there and got me involved in the discussions.  I really did not learn that much other than I had no chance with the girl and let’s face it I was 12 years old.
This became important later as, after the baptism, we were each handed out the embossed bible the church had bought us.  On it was a little glass globe with a mustard seed in it.   We all were seated on the front row of pews.  As the minister called out our names, we came up to the altar.  He welcomed us as full members of God’s family and gave us this bible. After all of us had gone through this and the minister allowed some applause, he gave a sermon on the mustard seed and faith. 
I still have the bible pictured below and the girl, well we are still friends.
