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. 30Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But 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." Hmm... maybe this is where I am at or whatever reason. I would like to go off on this thought. Peter-- Peter is always counted as the Faithless. he fell in the water. he denied Christ. But I find peter as a passionate person. hmm...maybe that's just me. When peter was in the boat he cried out to Jesus "Lord if it IS YOU call me out" shouldn't that be our prayer? "god if this is you in my life, use me"? In the book "if you want to walk on water you’ve gotta get out of the boat" it talks about how there are eleven people sitting in the boat. Doing nothing and PETER is the one that gets out. I guess what I want this Blog about is when peter called out. Peter, Passionate peter.... Always ready to fight for Jesus' Defense. he started to fall. and he Cried out "LORD save me". Lord Save me. Peter saw the winds and be came afraid and cried out "Lord save me" heh. I see the wind everyday. I look into my Dad's eyes. I listen to the things going on in my friends lives or I see a picture of my brother on the wall or I get in a fight with one of my friends and they hurt me, bad...I see the wind and I get scared. Really scared. I hurt I cry I become uncertain of who I am or where I'm going...I see the wind and I get scared. I want to learn to be like Peter I want to learn to cry out "Lord, save me" |
