lets walk on water.

i went to mass this afternoon and the homily is about Jesus walking on water. When the disciples saw him, they were afraid for they thought he is a ghost. But then again, he said to them...

Matthew 14:27 (New Living Translation)
But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!"

As we start the year, lets not forget those words spoken to us by Jesus himself. "Do not be afraid. I am here." He may not promise us a calm and peaceful year or storm-free year, but one thing He promised us. His presence. "I AM HERE."

just like Peter, most of us, will jump out of the boat and try to "walk on water" this year, let us try not to lose our focus and have more faith in HIM. after all, nothing will happen to us that is not according to his will.
