He fed those who came
Though they brought no food

He sent away those who followed him
Though they would have stayed

He went by himself to pray
Though many needs tugged at him

He walked through wind and water
Though the waves were high

He caught Peter, lifted him up
Though his faith was small

He accepted their praise
Though he saw the cross

To follow him:
Feed others
Give others independence
Seek quiet
Walk unafraid
Help someone
Accept praise
Accept defeat

God, help me
