FROM THE DESK OF FR. SERGIO OVANDO, PASTOR..... 

Faith

The person of Saint Peter has always amazed me; how he is similar to some of us, or to some of us in some moments of our lives.
 
At the vision of Jesus walking in the water and encouraging them to not be afraid, Peter goes further; he wants more proof of what he already sees: “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”  Does this sound familiar to you?
 
We, like Peter, want a little more. Sometimes it is not enough for us how God manifests himself proving to us His power and presence among us. We want more; we want to experience what Peter did in our own flesh, the power of God.

However, like Peter, when we experience the extraordinary, the sound and turbulence of this world that surround us makes us afraid and makes us lose what we had experienced by faith and we start to sink.
 
And here is the amazing thing, even then God comes to our rescue; after we have doubted and ask for more, after we have experienced the supernatural hand of God, and again we doubt, immediately Jesus extends his hand to help us.

The presence of God in our life should be enough, but sometimes it is not. We need to know that even when we doubt He will be there for us, giving us words of encouragement, giving us, more gifts of His infinite power, and always sustaining us so that we do not fall.
