Suddenly, Jesus'words flashed through Peters mind: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me." And he went away, weeping bitterly. (Matt. 26:75 NLT)
Has that ever happened to you? Maybe you didn't deny Christ but maybe you did something that you knew hurt Him & deeply saddened you. I can't imagine as the rooster crowed the third time & Peter looked across & locked eyes with Jesus. Your best friend who you just denied that you knew not once, not twice, but three times. How devastating would that be? If Peter saw hurt in Christs eyes, it was hurt for Peter. Christ already knew what was going to happen. He already knew & knows when we're going to fail. But He also knows how He's going to restore us. If we seek forgiveness & allow God to restore us God will use us like He did with Peter. If you've fallen, get back up. God has a work for you to do. Don't stay broken, God will restore you stronger than before & will use you to spread His word. Get out & invite someone to church, tell them about Christ, His love, His mercy. The world needs it today!
