If you want to … You’ve to Get Out Of The Boat
Walking on water means Facing your Fears and choosing not to let fear have the last word in your life.
Walking on water means discovering and embracing the unique calling of God on your life.
Walking on water means experiencing the power of God in your life to do something you would not be capable of doing on your own.
Expect a few waves to slap you in the face. Failure comes with the territory–but so does the strong hand of Jesus, pulling you up when the bottom drops out. And so do brilliant successes and rewards that far outweigh all of the risks.
Failure is not an event, but rather a judgment about an event. Failure is not something that happens to us or a label we attach to things. It is a way we think about outcomes.
Jonas Salk made two hundred unsuccessful attempts to create a polio vaccine. Salk, “I never failed two hundred times in my life. I just discovered two hundred ways how not to vaccinate for polio.”
Failure does not shape you….. but the way you respond to failure shapes you.
God isn’t finished with us yet!
I am still on the “potter’s wheel”.
