There is an imagined story of
a scene in heaven. Some angels approach the throne and say, “Father, there is a
mortal on earth asking for a blessing. What is Your pleasure concerning this
request?”
The Father asks, “What did he
send his faith in?”
The angels answer, “He sent
his faith in a thimble.”
The Father responds, “Well,
fill the thimble with blessings and send it back to him. According to his
faith, be it unto him.”
Again the angels come and
say, “Father, another mortal is asking a blessing of Thee.”
Again The Father inquires,
“And what did he send his faith in?”
The angels respond, “He sent
his faith in a huge barrel.”
With a smile the Father says,
“Fill the barrel with blessings and send it back to him. According to his
faith, be it unto him.”
By faith, we give God
pleasure, and through faith, God gives us treasure.[1]
