Walking on water

Just think about this for one moment. Jesus walks on water right? And then Peter says Lord call me and I will come. So he did and Peter went. Peter was walking on water for a minute. Then he started to sink. Jesus caught him and said oh ye of little faith why did you doubt. Now imagine your latest problem as water. Jesus is sitting there on top of it calling you from the boat. Will you go to Jesus. I used to look at that story and say man Peter sucked he was walking on the water already and then he doubted. Like what kinda fool would do that. But lately I can't help thinking he was the one disciple who left the boat. If I was there would I be Peter and at least leave the boat? Or will I be like the rest and sit in the boat hoping it wont sink. Peter took a risk. Sure he failed but God was right there to catch him. And the funnier thing is God never said you shouldn't have left the boat you fool. No, God said why did you doubt. Like maybe, just maybe we are supposed to take risks? Oh well, I don't know all I know is I would rather be the one leaving the boat and I hope that given the chance I will be.
