Devotion:
Read John 21:15-17.
Jesus offers Peter a time of renewal and recommitment to his Lord. But what do you think those first few moments were like? One of the most difficult journeys is to face the person who you failed.
Now it is you and God. You and God both know what you did and neither one of you is proud of it. What do you do? You might consider doing what Peter did. Stand in God’s presence. Stand in his sight. Stand still and wait. Sometimes that’s all you can do. Too repentant to speak, but too hopeful to leave - we just stand. Stand amazed because he extends grace and forgiveness and invites you to try again. Having received God’s forgiveness, live forgiven! Live like you are loved by God!!
Personal Worship Option:
Name the biggest blunders of your life. Have you faced them, admitted them, wondered about them? Because Jesus restores and heals, you can be forgiven.
