Reckless Faith!

Hey,
I read this and just want to thank you for living so courageously.

Peter was reckless in earthly terms.  He jumped onto the sea during a raging
storm without a flotation device, into waves big enough to capsize his
boat.  However, if you think about it, it really wasn't Peter's earthly
actions that were reckless; it was Peter's spiritual faith.
He had reckless faith: Without thinking, without distress over consequences,
without anxiety over what might happen, and without concern for what his
friends might think, Peter had faith.
Peter had reckless faith.  And we can too!  Reckless faith means doing what
God has called us to do, commanded us to do, and prompted us to do - because
it brings Him glory. Those who witnessed Peter's reckless faith didn't ooh
and aah over Peter.  Instead, like Peter, they fixed their eyes on Jesus. 
"Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, 'Truly you are the
Son of God'" (Matthew 14:33, NIV).

There are a few times in my life when I've exhibited reckless faith, and
found God blessed me immensely as a result. Unfortunately, there are many
more times I've chosen to remain safely in my boat.  It is so much easier to
stay afloat in the safety of our comfort zone than to step out into stormy
waters, putting all of our trust in Christ.
 
Reckless faith requires a vibrant and intimate relationship with Jesus
Christ.  When we climb from the safety boat and exhibit that, we spur those
still in their boats to fix their own eyes on Him, and worship the Son of
God
