“Inspired my Peter”
(I pray my truth encourages someone today.)
Over that last four years I have been in only what can be called a,“ VERY humbling season of my life.” I have fought private battles, in what feels like every area of my life that are not for the faint of heart. To add insult to injury during this season I have struggled to feel accepted, to believe that I could be worthy of the places, people, and platforms God has given me. That resulted in misdirected trust, anger, and a lot of apologies,😣That’s hard to admit.
HOWEVER, through all of that God continues to be at work in me, chipping away and sculpting my life into a masterpiece of his making…. As I read through his word this morning I became fixated on Peter and I was once again reminded in his word how God can turn some of the messiest moments into a powerful message. PETER—— Peter was clearly weak in a lot of ways, and he failed often. But Jesus saw something in Peter that he could use. Peter needed to grow, and the ingredients were there. Peter was willing to offer them up, to be corrected and redirected by Jesus when necessary, and to keep his eyes on Jesus. Ultimately Peter was humbled and molded into a mighty vessel for God’s plan to unfold. “Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.”
Matthew 16:18 …… Thank you Lord for keeping me close to your word, and for loving me and never leaving me, especially on the days when my mouth and mind moves faster than my heart ❤️🙏
