My sweet Flaca, this is your prima, by the way....lol.

I can name someone who also walked on water. Matthew 14:22-33:

"At once Jesus had His followers get into the boat. He told them to go ahead of Him to the other side while He sent the people away.  After He had sent them away, He went up the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone. By this time the boat was far from land and was being thrown around by the waves. The wind was strong against them.

 Just before the light of day, Jesus went to them walking on the water.   When the followers saw Him walking on the water, they were afraid. They said, “It is a spirit.” They cried out with fear.  At once Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take hope. It is I. Do not be afraid!”

 Peter said to Jesus, “If it is You, Lord, tell me to come to You on the water.”   Jesus said, “Come!” Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid. He began to go down in the water. He cried out, “Lord, save me!”  At once Jesus put out His hand and took hold of him. Jesus said to Peter, “You have so little faith! Why did you doubt?”

When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing. Those in the boat worshiped Jesus. They said, “For sure, You are the Son of God!”


It's true that Peter began to sink.  Peter lost focus.  He drew his eyes from the Lord and was consumed by the storm (doubt).  This caused him to go down in the water.  Peter found himself being engulfed by the sea (our problems, our sins), his faith wavered, briefly. But look! He cried out to Jesus and Jesus did not hesitate to extend His hand and take hold of Peter. 

I have to give some shout out to brother Peter.  He was the only one of the disciples that got out the boat and actually walked.

As we do, as children of God, people of God, we fail, we lose focus, we continually make the same mistakes and our flesh is weak and delusive to our lust, greed and sinful nature....but isn't it wonderful that we have a Savior.  That although we are sinners, if we call out to Him with a repented and contrite heart, that He forgives us and delivers us.   To God be the glory.
