Mistaken notion's about faith.

Mistaken notion's about faith.
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is about Peter's encounter with Jesus walking on the water. 

One of the reasons this story intrigues me so, is because of what I believe are mistaken notion's about faith.
In the story when Peter begins to sink after he walks on the water and he cries out to Jesus to save him, Jesus reaches out, takes him by the hand and says to him "oh ye of little faith". Note by the way, this is all happening with Peter and Jesus standing on the water. :)  If you read the Bible carefully you will see that Jesus says this quite often. In most religious circles I know this is interpreted to mean that Peters Faith had Failed.
You see, I don't think that's what was happening at all. I think Peter was just being human. He can't walk on water! 🙄 😀 But on this occasion he did because Jesus had invited him out to where Jesus was. You see Jesus was going to invite Peter into an even more difficult and painful task. I believe Jesus was preparing Peter and strengthening his faith.

My interpretation of what Jesus was saying to Peter that night on the water was this. Peter if I ever invite you out to where I am, no matter how impossible the task may seem, don't ever doubt Me. I'll be there for you, like I was tonight.
Where is got inviting you to walk? Can I encourage you and your faith with knowing that wherever it is, God will be there for you.
