Walk on Water

Darkness. Wind. Waves engulfing you and me. The fright as they see a figure in the night. Walking into their sight, he tells them to "Be of good cheer, it is I!" He would not lie with a message so clear. His friend still wanting a sign...why should we ever lack faith with him as our guide? As the waves of our sea become high tide, we can jump out and walk with our eyes fixed on his! Letting go of the boat as we take the first step forward as if learning to walk again. Peter so faithful at first, then he fell begging to be saved by our brother divine. When his hand came to lift him up, he knew it was true what Christ was about to go through. The sacrifice, suffering and pain, so we could have eternal life to gain. "Help thou my unbelief" it has been said,  as his request was granted. Why do we ever pretend? If we lack faith, turn to our savior redeemer and friend. Death, blind, sorrowful, lame, sinful and Deaf, all things can he, Christ, mend!

*Nancy, I wrote this one on my mission too, about Peter... and us! Your blog made me think of this again. So, this one is dedicated to you! :)

People...Forget walking, let's dance! There is a dance party going on the water, so take my hand, JUMP out of the boat, DANCE and bask in the freedom our Faith can bring!
