Failures

...then let him do what he knows is best. ~ 2 Samuel 15:26b (CEV)

Peter replied (to Jesus), “you know I love you.”

“Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. ~ John 21:15b (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Jesus continues to use people who have failed -- if they are willing to be of service.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, Peter was perhaps your biggest disappointment of all. Yet he was willing and you continued to give him a lot of responsibility. I, too, feel like a failure so much of the time. Even though I'm eager to serve you, nothing works out the way I think it should. It's such a let down and I know that I let you down, too. But I'm willing to go on serving you -- even though I'm a broken person. Restore my confidence so that I can serve you. Thank you for your grace. Amen.
