Remember Peter's moment? After denying Jesus three times, their eyes met across the courtyard. But that look wasn't condemnation—it was love preparing restoration.
Maybe you're living in "self-condemnation world" today. You've failed Jesus, and you're convinced you deserve the bench. But here's the truth: Jesus isn't holding a stick waiting to strike you. The blow you deserved already fell—on Him, at the cross.
Your story with Jesus isn't over. He always finishes what He begins. You are not the sum of your struggles and failures. You are the sum of the Father's love for you and the power of Jesus to transform your life.
Like Peter, you'll be restored—amazingly, completely, and tenderly. Jesus won't quit on you. He's running toward you, not away from you.
