               Into The Storm

   And having seen that they were troubled and tormented in [their] rowing,
   for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night
   [between 3:00-6:00 a.m.] Jesus came to them, walking [directly] on the
   sea.  And He acted as if He meant to pass by them, But when they saw
   Him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and raised a [deep,
   throaty] shriek of terror.

   For they all saw Him and were agitated (troubled and filled with fear
   and dread). But immediately He talked with them and said, "Take heart!
   I AM! Stop being alarmed and afraid."

   And He went up into the boat with them, and the wind ceased (sank to
   rest as if exhausted by its own beating). And they were astonished
   exceedingly [beyond measure].
        Mark 6:48-51 (AMP)

Come My people. Draw near Me. Each day draw nearer. Repel the fear that
would seek to cover you. Release your life into Me.

Come to Me now. Do not hesitate. I offer Myself to you who call upon My
name. There is a storm. Great darkness is gathering, yet do not fear.
Walk into the storm. My peace is near. I have created you to walk into
the deep darkness so My light is shed to those who would not have known
Me.

Fear not, but walk into the storm that I, God, may show forth My love. I
am life. Come to Me now. Learn how to be secure amidst the storm.
