Faith

Matthew 14: 28-33 (you can read it at the bottom of this post if you would like!)

"I am the Lord your God and I go before you." He is calling me saying "Come." And with no hesitation or resistance in my spirit, I go with delight. Where exactly am I going? Does it really matter? My husband calls and I must go! All I know is that I am leaving the familiar places and stepping into the unknown. I know that this is the safest place I can be because his eyes are upon me and mine on Him. Oh his eyes- the most beautiful eyes. When you gaze into the eyes of our savior you are overwhelmed with the depths of his love it would be almost impossible for me to look away, but somehow I do. I look to my right and to my left and discourage and doubt hit me like a rock tied to my ankle. I start to sink. But even before I begin to cry out for my savior, he yells, “Grace! Grace! Grace to you my dear!” And everything that was bringing me down disappears and loses its grip on me. Somehow I am even stronger than I was before. With each step closer I am strengthened. I started running and what once was water is now a concrete path set before me. This must be what faith is.





Matthew 14: 28-33
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. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
 ³¹ Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
 ³² And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. ³³ Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
