Icecream

Have you ever been distracted before? Maybe you were working on your homework so hard. And then all of sudden, you heard your brother exclaim, "ICECREAM!" You know what this is called? The voice of distraction!

One time, Peter saw Jesus walking on the water. So amazed, Peter shouted, "Jesus! Can I walk on the water too? I want to try!" "Come," replied Jesus. Right then, Peter started walking on the water. He was doing very fine, until he saw the waves and winds around him. Then, Peter became afraid. And, he began sinking. "Jesus! Save me!" cried out Peter. Of course, loving Jesus came for help, and Peter was safe.

Do you know why Peter began sinking? You see, Peter was doing fine as long as he was looking at Jesus. But, the moment he saw the winds, he was distracted! And, that's when he started falling! You see, in our lives, as long as we trust Jesus, everything will be fine. Even the waves and winds cannot make us fall. But, it's when we start getting distracted, we become afraid and start falling. So, when distractions come around you to make you see the waves and winds, don't be distracted. Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ.

"Immediately Jesus saved him. 'You have so little faith.' Jesus said, 'Why did you doubt'" 

(Matthew 14:31, Paraphrase).
