GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
John 21:15 Jesus asks Peter, "Do you love me?" Peter said proudly He loved Jesus 'MORE THAN ANYTHING' in this world. Jesus asked 3 times and Peter said He loves him so much with so much conviction. At the time Jesus was captured and in trial, people who saw Peter asked him if he knows Jesus. Strongly he denies, he said he doesn't know Jesus. He did this 3 times, he was asked 3 different times. When asked if he is Jesus disciple, He denied it and said, “I am not!” Matt 26:75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly. Who would have thought a man like Peter, Jesus disciple, a man who was with Jesus physically could get to a point of denying Jesus 3 times? When He was with Jesus, he confessed his LOVE but he was weakened when it required his faithfulness at the time they were not physically together, he denies his relationship with him. Out of fear for judgement from society, the FEAR of not being accepted, our own selfish desires within ourselves, we sometimes deny LOVE and FAITH. And Because we lack of faith, we become cowards to fight for the TRUTH and for the people we say we won't betray. For we all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Thru God's Grace, even if we always fall short, HE still FORGIVES. He always Forgives because He is GOD! This is why HE IS GOD! If once in your life you were Peters' situation, realign and ask forgiveness. And if you happened to be Jesus's side of whom hurt, denied, betrayed, we shall forgive and forgive like without judgement. Never easy right? That's where His GRACE comes! |
