Oh yes...I wonder how often He has entered our "walks" in life like that, but we just didn't realize it could be Him? I'm learning to look up and say, "That was YOU, God, right?"
I love what followed these words too. Jesus encouraged Peter to 'walk on water', something Peter would never have thought he could do - yet something he could do when he took his eyes of the circumstance and obeyed Jesus' encouragement to do it. It is only fear that can stop us from walking according to the Lord's instruction and guidance. We must keep our eyes on the Lord, not on the circumstance we may be in, in order to overcome. God bless you Sandi.
Hi Sandi! As we travel this Holy Week, I think I need to remember that message from Jesus. His Passion and Death are not to be feared, but instead to help me come to an awe of his great love for me. (And you!) May you have a blessed week and Easter celebration too, Ceil

As a child I love this story, as a woman I love His words:"It is I", do not be afraid".
ReplyDeleteNice flowers.
