Reading:
Peter was one of Jesus’ closest friends. But when fear and pressure hit, he denied knowing Jesus at all. It’s a painful moment, but it’s also incredibly human.
We all make mistakes and fall short, sometimes when we least expect it. But what’s beautiful is that even after Peter’s denial, Jesus still loved him and later restored him.
We all mess up. Whether it’s a mistake we regret or a failure we’re struggling to forgive ourselves for, Jesus is there to restore us. Take a moment today to reflect on the areas in your life where you’ve fallen short, and know that Jesus is waiting to restore and heal you.
Pray: Jesus, thank you for your grace and forgiveness. Help me turn back to you, no matter how many times I fall. Restore me and help me stand firm in my faith. Amen.
