I can remember sitting at the water’s edge in the high heat of the day. It didn’t matter, my mind was flooded with the things which had been shared with me. Secret things of the heart. Looking at the pool in front of me I could imagine the faith of Peter….I could walk on water! I just need to stop listening to the wind of other voices crying out, casting doubt into my thoughts.
Matthew 14:24-33 but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, It is a ghost! and they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid. And Peter answered him, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water. He said, Come. So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, Lord, save me. Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt? And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.
