"...they [the disciples] saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid."
John 6:19-20
The disciples saw Jesus, but they didn't really see Him for who He was. Instead, all they could see was their own fear. Usually, what we as humans see is very different then what God sees. Many times something, someone or some circumstance will suddenly show up in front us and because we aren't mentally prepared for it, it scares us. We will then proceed to freak out silently, imaginations going wild, or we won't let ourselves think at all, but simply run away... fast. How silly this is when, in reality, we may actually be allowing ourselves to be scared of something which God had intended to be a huge blessing for us.
