“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus. ~Matthew:28-29


There is a lovely saying that says: “We cannot discover new oceans unless we have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” Sometimes it is difficult to leave the safety of our own comfort zone. It is easy to play safe rather than take a chance or a risk or go for something new and different. Even when it comes to faith matters it is good to know that one size doesn’t fit all. What works for you may not work for me, what works for you may not work for someone else. But if you are happy with what works for you then that’s great. It would indeed be a boring place if we all had exactly the same needs. Belief in a loving God always leads us to new discoveries about ourselves, the world we live in and the positive impact it can have in our daily lives. For all this to take place, means having the courage to let it happen.
