The infamous storm...the terrified disciples...and one nut who sees Jesus walks out to him and almost drowns...
All I can think of is..."I believe help my unbelief". Peter should
have coined that phrase right here.
We only seem to reach out when we are already doused with water. Here we are mostly under with no way to help ourselves and finally we take his hand. Sometimes I try to grab his hand when I am doing well, but I don't do it with the fervor that comes with desperation.
The good news is the same nut that almost drowned got another chance. Instead of walking on water he plunges into it on purpose. "I'm coming I'm coming". Swimming to the shore soaking wet, exhausted, and overwhelmed he embraces Jesus. "Do you love me"...feed my sheep....yes, Lord I will.
Corny pictures, somewhat corny reflection,...somewhat deep truth.
