What I got from Jesus is: Take me into your boat!

What I got from Jesus today is an invitation to take Jesus into our boat. If we can do so, then immediately Jesus will take us to where he wants us to go.

Is that so easy? I think so, but it is in Jesus way, not your way!

We like to say, "Hay, now we are on the same boat, we really need to work together more closely, right?" We know how to say it to some people who are in the same situation with us hoping that we can have one more person to walk with. But, we do not know how to take Jesus into our boat.

Why? Because during stormy time we are usually in a fearful mode. We could not be able to see Jesus so we do not have that opportunity like the disciples in today's passage to be willing to take Jesus to the boat. Or, even if we know Jesus is near our boat but we are not willing. Why? May be we think that we can handle the situation, may be we are angry with Jesus of stirring that storm, may be we do not have the gift or ability to discern whether it is Jesus or not or other reason.

Anyway, Jesus invites you to take him to your boat. Are you willing today?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to know that we need you into our boat all the time. Help us to accept your invitation to take you into our boats. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
