Peter walked on water. A normal, loud-mouthed, cowardly, typical man, walked on water. Until he took his eyes off Jesus.
I’ve been trying to figure out what that means for my daily life. My prayers have lately been all about me: How can I serve you best? Where do you want me to go? Even though my intentions are good, God’s answer is, “forget yourself for a minute, and tell me you love me. Worship me because I’m worthy.” And as soon as I stop praying about myself and fretting about all the areas of life I’m not succeeding in and just tell him how much he means to me, my spirit frees up. Suddenly he gives me ideas and energy to do what he wants.
A wise friend said life is really simple. We just make it complicated when we start looking at ourselves. When we look at Jesus, everything works and life is simple. We can walk on water, but only if we focus on him.
