This conversation between Jesus and Peter is the most beautiful and hopeful conversations in the Bible. Jesus knew the anguish Peter was feeling so Jesus goes straight to him. To reconcile Peter.

I’m always amazed by the faith of those we read about in Scripture. Those who left everything behind at a moments notice to follow God’s leading. Even those who maybe hesitate for a moment, but then walked in step with where God was leading. 

For most of my life I had been mostly closed off to the Holy Spirit working in my life. This wasn’t intentional, it was just a result of my preconceived notions of how God was supposed to work and how the Holy Spirit was supposed to operate. I felt that the Holy Spirit was supposed to work within the limits that I had unintentionally set.

What are you scared of? What frightens you the most?

What if, perhaps, the impossible thing you are facing right now is meant to strengthen and mold you?
