followers aren’t always believers and believers aren’t always followers. but when a follower becomes a believer, they will get out of a boat and walk on water. and when a believer becomes a follower they will turn the world upside down.
peter always gets beat up for denying Christ by his words, but i'll tell you the worst part wasn't what he said, but what he did after Christ was crucified. he left and went fishing. and yet, he's restored by Christ. peter always gets bashed for sinking, but no one ever stops to think that he actually walked on the water! have you made mistakes? have you ever doubted? have you walked on water? Jesus never belittled peter’s faith for attempting the miraculous. just like peter, Jesus offers forgiveness and restoration. beyond that, He has given us the authority to perform miracles.
strange things occur when a follower becomes a believer… you see miracles. crazy things happen when a believer becomes a follower… the world gets changed.

Hey.....its kind of interesting when you think about how many unbelieving followers of Jesus there are in the world. You can follow him but then never do anything significant because you don't truly believe. i've struggled with this from time to time.....and the Lord will ask me, "Do you really believe in me?" That's a question that'll wake you up. :)
