Peter and Andrew were fishing when Jesus called out to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men…’ (Mark 4:19)

Under pressure, Peter denied Jesus, but after he realized what he’d done, he went away and wept bitterly.  Three times, Peter denied Jesus.  

But after the resurrection, Jesus found Peter in the same place, doing the same thing he was doing when He was first called. Peter had returned to fishing!

Once again, Jesus called out to Peter.  Jesus challenged Peter three times  Peter confirmed his love for Jesus, three times.  

Then in a moment, Jesus restored Peter and renewed His call…

“…And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

John 21:19

Yes, we mess up.  Yes, we fall short.  Yes, every single one of us is guilty.  But Jesus comes after, calls out, challenges us, and He restores us!  Beyond our betrayals and failures – Jesus calls, ‘Follow me…’

So, no matter where you are, what you may have done, or how you got there, hear the voice of Jesus, get up and try again!  

Try again with Jesus!

Good Morning, I love you all!
