Peter saw Jesus' glory on the mountain, but even in that moment, he was terrified and unsure of what to say. 😨✨

Sometimes, we feel like we need to have all the right answers, but even the closest disciples struggled to understand everything. 🙃💡

The good news?

Jesus doesn’t demand perfection—He shows us mercy, even when we’re confused or afraid.

Here's the truth: faith isn't about always getting it right or feeling 100% confident.

It’s about trusting Jesus even when we don’t fully understand. The same Jesus who showed His glory also went down that mountain to the cross—for YOU.

✨ **The Saliva Miracle: When Jesus Heals in Unexpected Ways** ✨

Imagine this: you're blind, and Jesus comes up to you.

Instead of a grand gesture, He spits on the ground, makes mud, and places it on your eyes.

Kinda weird, right?

Yet through this humble, messy act, sight is restored. 💡

Sometimes God works through things that seem weak or even strange to you and me.

We might not always get the ‘why’ or the ‘how’ of God's plans, but through the cross, we see God’s unfailing love and work in our lives, even in the messiest moments. 💫
