After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”- Matt14:22-33 #getouttheboat The first step to getting anywhere is to decide you're not willing to stay where you are. #getofftheboat Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. #taketherisk If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now. #taketheleap Stop letting your head talk your heart out of it. #leapoffaith You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way. #livinginfear When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life. #truefaith God doesn't want you limping through life. He wants you leaping through life. #walkonwater Stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you don't feel like you are "ready" yet. It's time to jump. You are ready now. #livingbyfaith (at Mount Juliet, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3WnUjhFQe3/?igshid=o6cj19t0mutm
