Bible Note: Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I do feel silly about trying to get people attention. But I'm pleased with the advice I've gotten. Your post reminds me of something I heard about, how it was when Peter stopped looking at Christ, and started looking around at the water he was walking on, that was when he started to sink, and Jesus had to reach out to him. I'm also reminded of a verse of a hymn - the bride does not look at her own dress, but at the bridegroom (Christ). Thank You! Steph |
