"He said, 'Come.' So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, 'You of little faith, why did you doubt?'" Matthew 14:29-31.

One tiny detail in this Bible passage that I love looking at is when it says, "Jesus immediately...". Jesus immediately reached out His hand to save Peter from drowning. Jesus didn't think to himself, "Hmph, it's all Peter's fault that he became frightened and looked the other way. You know what? Just to teach him a lesson... I think I'll wait till he gets a good mouthful of salty water in his mouth before I save him. Ha, that'll teach him a lesson!" Jesus cared for Peter. He didn't let him drown.

If you feel like you're drowning in the never ending seas engulfing you, just reach out to Jesus. Cry to Jesus. He's waiting for you to come to Him. He's been waiting all along, hoping you'd want His help. Cause let's admit it--we've tried before. We can't live without Him. We fail miserably at it when we try. Don't try to swim in those seas again. Instead, call on the One who made the seas.
