"you will experience greater things than these."

walking on water is my task.
trusting in Jesus is my purpose.
the winds of my failures
and the waves of my imperfection
are my distractions.
this world storms around me.
but Jesus always remains constant.
He says, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
and holds out His hands
to catch us when we think we're sinking.
He says, "You of little faith,
Why did you doubt?"
because with Jesus, we can walk on water.
and if
walking on water is my task.
and trusting in Jesus is my purpose
then even the winds of my failures
and the waves of my imperfections
cannot distract me.
and though this world storms around me.
one thing remains constant ---
i can always walk on water,
in Jesus' name.

Amen.
