Denial


Lately, I have read about Peter's denial to Jesus. We have also watched it in Matthew (the movie) as a church. Through being here in Leon, I have learned that I am weak and fail a lot like Peter. However, because of this I have learned that I must run to Jesus more and more each day. Something a F. LaGard Smith wrote in 30 Days with Jesus encouraged me about Peter's denial. "Peter later rebounded with irrepressible strength and power when he was filled with the Holy Spirit. And so can we. It comes to us as a promise! As Christians we will never be perfect. But as God's children we will never be denied." I must keep pressing on every day to be more like Jesus. We are so blessed to be God's children!
