"A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. But he said to them, 'It is I; don't be afraid.' Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading."
John 6:18-21
i love this passage of scripture.
i have come back to it over and over through the years.
when "the waters grow rough."
and it always does the same thing - calms me.
i just need to be WILLING...and He will immediately get me where i need to be.
does that mean the problems immediately go away?
NO.
but i do IMMEDIATELY feel His peace.
even after days, weeks of running in the opposite direction.
as soon as i turn to Him, He IMMEDIATELY fills me.
Lord, make me "willing." AMEN
