I was watching an old movie starring Danny Kaye, as Walter Mitty, Walter Mitty is a person who lived in a dream world,he lets his mind wonder,and see's himself,as an adventurer,a great lover, and so on. The real Water Witty was in fact,a person who was dominated by others,and was so easily scared.Let us face it there is a little bit of Walter Mitty in us all,many people become or think they become Walter Mitty when they our on drugs and drink.Many people think if they had money then they would be different, or if they move somewhere different,all would change for the better.Peter the apostle was a bit like Walter Mitty,he lost sight of whom he really was,between what he said and what he was, was a vast chasm, read about it in Mark 14v26-31. It was only through his tears did he see himself for what he was,and it was only in Christ did he see what he could become. There is an old gospel hymn that goes,/He washed my eyes with tears that I might see/,so true, the sinner is changed by tears of conviction, and faith in Jesus,he cries out I once was blind but now I see. For us all to be changed ,God will give the medicine of tears,that we may no longer live in a world of Walter Mitty,but that we may become more Christlike.
A prayer....../Dear Lord if I have to have the medicine of tears,so be it,if that what it takes to know You, and be like You,I bow to Your will, Amen
