♥ You of little faith, why did you doubt?
25During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
27But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
28"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
29"Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
32And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
i think in some ways i'm like peter.
i see the wonderful things God does in my life, i see how he carries me through every situation...
and u know... i walk on water...
but then i start to see the world through my eyes.
i start to see "reality"... then i start to lack faith. i dont know i can handle it. i think its too much.
and i begin to sink into the water.
I always ask God to help mee... I always ask Him where He is...
but it's not that God isn't there for me.
but rather, i am somewhat lacking in faith.
I focus on the wrong things... I doubt.
I need to change my perspective, because i'm continuously sinking whenever i'm stressed out and overloaded.
Changed.
Faith.
Life.
