Restoring Pangea: Peter Walks Beneath the Water

Peter Walks Beneath the Water

Amidst the thunder blunder cracks and moans

A Hand reaches

My gutter my bed

Slumber sleep or stained

I want what my heart sees

But my eyes cannot feel

Rescue is a word

Captive a force

Reaching breaks forth effortless

I am indwelt with a passion

succumbing, sucumbing

He reaches forward...

I have stepped out of the boat - I nnow realize whereI am; I know where you are - my faith is failing me. Each day I slap away your hand and drown again - when will i cling? Teach me to cling, take me to the place where I can only cling

Thanks guys and gals. I feel that many of us have taken the steps of courage that Peter took but are caught in between the boat and Jesus hands sometimes - can't go back - afraid to go forward - then we sink - as a man called to ministry - I feel myself walking below the water much more than on it, or being in the boat or in the clasp of Jesus hand - I guess you could call it drowning in your salvation as you try to work it out. I feel the need to be honest about these things, but I am so grateful that Truth prevails!

How true that we do walk beneath our Lord... asking our heart to reach, eyes to feel. Moving in that realm where we long for the tangible, only to realize that He alone is capable of putting hands and feet to our desires. Thank you.

...And there was no longer any sea... What is Restoring Pangea?

The World as one still needs to be one in every way - physically ideologically, socially, economically, etc. Pangea Restored is a fully-orbed vision of what the world could be if the borders and barriers that most separate us were removed, literally, and the New World was reborn with Peace reigning. Let His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven..

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,

...and there was no longer any sea...

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"...He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21

Cause vs. Effect

If I couldn't see I'd be more affective If I was careful I wouldn't be here If I was courageous I would still fear If I had a million dollars I'd have a big house in the Bahamas. If I had a dollar I'd have a small house, somewhere in the Saharas. If I didn't own anything, I'd be able to receive everything If I had everything I'd be missing something If this was a song, I'd write it If it was a poem, it doesn't rhyme If i could live any life it would be my own If I could only tell you one thing, it would be, "Come Home"
