Call me to come to you!

Call me to come to you! 

Matthew 14:24

There is a storm going on, not just a little wind or rain..
Like a full on waves and boat sinking storm..
I imagine that it's dark because if always is in a storm, and they are in a little fishing boat being pounded by waves and struggling to hold on...
And through that storm Jesus is walking on water, he does not calm
The storm before he walks to them, 
He walks through the storm, why? Because he is... 
Now logic dictates that it would be safer in the boat then on the water amongst the storm.. 
But when Jesus comes through the storm to them. 
Peter asks to walk with him on water. 
"Call me to come to you" he says. 

I think he does this because he has the revelation that Jesus is actually safer then the boat, that of he is going to be anywhere it's with Jesus. 
Isn't that the kind of faith we should have in him? 
Like no matter what's going on our world and how crazy it seems to be, that we would want to be whereever Jesus is, even if that mean stepping out into the storm. 
Sometimes when life get rough we can make safe places for ourselves, we create "boats" because we don't want to sink, I know I am very good at this.
But God didn't call us to live Safe. 
He called us to be his hands and feet and sometimes that means stepping out, but we are never stepping out alone. Be assured that if your stepping into a storm he is right there with you!
