The Gift of Second Chances
Day 3: The Gift of Second Chances
Reading: John 21:15-19
Devotional: Three times Peter denied Jesus. Three times Jesus asked, "Do you love me?" This wasn't punishment—it was restoration. Jesus was giving Peter the opportunity to replace each denial with an affirmation of love. Your past failures don't disqualify you from God's calling; they become the very place where His grace shines brightest. Peter's greatest failure became the foundation for his greatest ministry. Jesus didn't focus on what Peter had done wrong; He focused on what Peter would do right. If you're carrying the weight of past mistakes, hear Jesus asking you today: "Do you love me?" Your honest "yes" is enough. He's not looking for perfection—He's looking for love and willingness. Let go of your shame and embrace His restoration.
