By Invitation Only

Did you ask God for the ability to walk on the water, like Peter, and when he told you to “Come” as he did Peter, you started off on good faith and then found yourself sinking?  If it wasn't in the cards for Peter to walk on the water then I think that Jesus would have simply told him that it wasn't for him, as he told James and John when they asked could either of them sit on his left or his right when he went to Heaven.  There wasn't much that Jesus didn't perform when asked point-blank for a blessing and one would think that if walking on water – defying gravity and nature would have been one of those “no” times but all Jesus said was ”Come”.  Now had Peter stepped out onto the water without permission, it is fair to say that he might not have had the success that he did but when Jesus bid him to do as he had requested, there was nothing that stopped him except his faith.  Miracles are giving on a case-by-case basis but it is also given at the Lord’s discretion and it is “By Invitation Only”.  If he told you to “Come” then just keep on walking!
