Denied!

"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." – Matthew 26:75

Peter just did something that he swore he would never do. He denied Christ – three times. His denial of Jesus left him with such remorse, that it stripped away ALL of his pride, clearing the way for true humility. With pride gone and his soul bare, Peter was prepared for real spiritual growth.

When we are able to conquer pride in our life, there is nothing left to get between us and the Lord. And we can finally listen, rely and grow in Him.

Think of the irony of Peter denying Christ.  Through his betrayal, Peter was broken, restored, and risen to become the rock of Christianity.

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
