"But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out; for they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He talked with them and said to them, 'Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.'" (Mark 6:49) Growing in Faith Did you not recognize Me? I came along by your side when I saw you in your distress. It was dark and the elements swirled around you. I saw the fear in your face as I approached. You had seen what I could do. How often do I need to show you before you can believe? But you did not believe I could be there to rescue you and did not see Me. "It's someone sent to torment me," you thought. But no, it was I, come again, to show God's great power so that you might always trust in Me and never doubt again! © Constance Vanides August 23, 2010 www.GodCares.org Click at the top on the Latest Word Library banner to choose and view earlier messages.
