The Feeling of Failure
If you need forgiveness and restoration today, ask Him for it.
Transcript
This is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. Have you ever made a promise and then failed so badly you wondered if anyone would ever trust you again? Peter, one of Jesus closest friends, knew that feeling very well. He had walked beside Jesus, witnessed miracles. But on the night that Jesus was arrested, fear overtook him three times. He denied even knowing the one that he loved the most, Peter. Confronted by this great failure, Peter ran, ashamed and broken. Days later, Jesus rose from the dead and Peter met him on a quiet beach. There was no anger from Jesus, no scolding, just a fire as Jesus cooked him breakfast and asked him three times, do you love me? And each time, Peter said yes. Jesus offered a restoration for every one of his denials. And if you need that forgiveness and restoration today, ask him for it. Always remember, there is hope with God.
