Stretching & Growing

When a newborn babe cries, Mom gives him milk. As he grows, he learns how to go to the refrigerator to get it himself. So is life in Christ. As we grow, God allows us to go through some growing pains, in order that we learn how to trust Him in the long haul. Peter fully trusted Jesus when he got out of that boat and began to walk on the water, and he quickly began to doubt and therefore sink. Jesus didn't make Peter feel stupid, or berate him. He held out his hand to help him and He does the same for us as we grow in grace. Will you step out on the water and trust?
