Simon Peter

Simon in Greek means "reed" a weak, flimsy plant that bends and break. Peter in Greek means "rock", a large, huge foundational rock.

Only Jesus has faith to call me by the name that has yet to be. Only the faith of Jesus is perfect.

Only Jesus will see me, at my best. Even though I'm far from being decent, far from being capable of anything.

As much as I rest in the Lord, mindfully rest upon the firm foundation of His revelations. I feel that circumstances, and the lies of the evil one, can still cause me to sway, like a weak and loose reed. Listening to sermons and praying in tongues can still be striving, can still be superficial. Being in the house of the Lord, may mean a mere casual attendance, akin to checking in to a temporary stay. God has reminded me to unpack my bag, dwelve deeper, make my Father's house into my home, my shelter, refuge and hiding place. Repentance of the mind is just a start, there must be core renewal of the heart. This can only be achieved with deep dwelling, coming real and stripping every iota of "I", "me", "self" and coming bare before the Lord. Only then, His presence can overwhelm, and not merely a exterior touch.
