Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” Jesus said “Come…” But when Peter saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me! Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. Matt.14 Conversations Within” ts 9/18/2019
Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

Like many things, confidence often comes in stages.
Our confidence in God and in our service to Him often grows over time. Compare it to young children learning to surf. God will sometimes put us in water over our head and ask us to trust Him. There is no shortcut to the process, but over time we learn to confidently trust His instructions. Whatever deep water you’re in today, understand that your Father will not let us drown while teaching us to surf.
