Just an encouragement! :) And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And the disciples saw him walking on the sea, the were troubled, saying, it is a spirit, and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come, and when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou are the Son of God. I've heard this bible story, so many times. God has told us all once in our lives to simply, Come. Follow Him. When we do, it seems like the wind starts to stir the waters, we take our eyes off of Him, and we start to sink, when we cry out to Jesus, He picks us up, and we don't drown in our doubts. What I would give to have faith like that... to walk out onto the waters of my troubles, and just face the giants without worries of being afraid or sinking. To know that Jesus is there, and that with one cry out to Him, He stretches His mighty hand to catch me. Man oh man.. what would it have been like to see these things happen? To witness them with our own eyes? Some in the days of our Lord, saw Him, but still did not believe in Him. Would we believe more if we saw Him face to face? Sometimes I wish it was that simple, lol, just to see Him, and know He's there. Instead, I choose to trust and believe in the things unseen. I love Him so much, and I'm thankful for Him showing me this message, so that I could share it with all you mylotters. Just cry out to Him when the winds start to blow and stir the waters, He'll stretch out His wonderful nail scarred hand and help you out of whatever troubled water you're in!! Just have faith in Him!
