Today’s thoughts are by Julie Wicker

Proverbs 27:17 NIV — As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

A good friendship, family, tribe, or a furry friend often makes us better. A Water Walker is often never solo. Just like the Disciples had each other through both strong and wavering faith, we too have a tribe to walk this life with. 

My family helps me to love deeper and longer. My friendships help me to walk taller and smarter. My furry friends teach me unconditional love and intentionality. My tribe helps me to endure and keep moving forward. 

We all learn and grow from our relationships. That is what Jesus wants from us, a relationship. We too need to keep reaching just like Jesus reaching a hand out for Peter in ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?””

On this Water Walking Wednesday I encourage us all to nurture our relationships by encouraging and loving one another. Don’t forget to reach a hand out. It could be a text, a phone call, a visit, or a card that is needed.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for always reaching out to me. I desire to reach out to others through Your love. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
