KeyPoints

π️ Peter walked on water as long as he remembered Christ's nearness; doubt led him to sink.
π Visions are known by their fruit: if they leave you more loving, humble, etc., then the light was true.
Analogy
Maintaining spiritual vision is like keeping a candle lit in a dark room. If the flame flickers due to distraction or doubt, the light becomes unstable. However, when focus and love for Christ are steady, the candle burns brightly, illuminating the surroundings.
