A
reminder for today
But
when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink.
"Save me, Lord!" he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and
grabbed him. "You have so little faith," Jesus said. "Why did
you doubt me?" (Matthew 14:30-31)
Our faith is constantly under fire and with that we are
continuously bombarded with insecurities and feelings of failure. We see our
mistakes and we are reminded by the enemy that we are not worthy or that we are
living a lie. I guess if you were living with me you would ask the same
questions, because just like you I fall and make mistakes. I get angry and
irritated and lately I would question my role as God’s ambassador in a world that
can’t wait to see me fall. I write to you about living a life that reflects
Jesus, yet I struggle to live that life. So the next thing is that I would
question my way of life and my life as a follower of Jesus Christ when I feel
He is not so clearly visible in the way I live. And that is exactly where I
found myself this morning. Am I good enough?
Peter looked at the waves and he was terrified. We look
at our mistakes and we are terrified. We struggle with our thoughts and our
purpose and we call out “Save me Lord!” My dear friend, Jesus is looking at us
today as He stretched out His hand to lift us up out of our pit of despair. “You have so little faith," Jesus
said. "Why did you doubt me?"
Stop doubting my friend and let us trust Him. Our ways
are imperfect, but His ways is perfect. Our imperfections are already forgiven
and our mistakes died on that cross. Do not let your fear steal your reward in
Jesus. I look up at Him as He pulls me out of the water and I realise that it
is not me writing to you, but His Holy Spirit. I may be imperfect, but He is
perfect and it is not my words but the words of the Holy Spirit. And most
importantly; I write as much for me as I am writing for you. You are loved
beyond understanding and no mistake you make will steal you from His forgiveness.
Stand up in faith and trust Him, for He knows better than we do.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
