    Tough love or tender love. The disciples toiling in rowing, and Jesus unusual response. (He would have passed them by.) When we get close to God we will have sympathy for others, we can also gain insight into the best way to help them.

For example, if we had a battle scene, there is the perspective of the individual soldier facing enemies that his limited ...read more
