Matthew 26:69-75 - This scripture is about Peter denying Jesus 3 times.
John 21: 16 - This scripture is about the assignment Jesus gave Peter.
As hard as I try to stay on track, keep my focus on Jesus, I continually fall short by making mistakes and poor choices. I get so disappointed in myself. Why would God still love me? Then I remember Romans 8: 28. We are told God takes the bad and puts it to good use.
All the things I remember as falling short can be redeemed for good. Jesus shed all of His blood to seal the new covenant - the promise of forgiveness. In that covenant the Holy Spirit is able to bring me to rebirth, re-creation, renewal and redemption. I, like Peter, can still be used for God's purposes no matter what I have done in the past.
I am grateful that nothing can separate me from the love of God.
