"I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces are never covered with shame." Psalm 34:4-5

How often we struggle with memories of our past. Shame and regret fills our heart. Peter denied knowing Christ. Not once but thrice. Imagine the guilt and remorse Peter would have felt. But when Jesus met him and the other disciples on the shores of Galilee, Jesus didn't mention a word about his failure. Instead, He went on to serve them the meal He had cooked for them . He knew they wouldn't have eaten. He knew they needed physical nourishment, He knew they needed reassurance from Him.

Jesus knows exactly how you feel. He knows you love Him. He knows you have failed Him. But He's willing to help you. When you look to Him, He will remove your pain, your shame and give you hope and a future. He will use you to give comfort and hope to the hopeless.

Just as Peter was rescued from desperation, despair and shame and used for His kingdom, Jesus can rescue and restore you completely.

The word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory.

John 1:14

[heartsings77]

John 14:27 ESV Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 16:33 ESV I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

2 Thessalonians 3:16 ESV Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Heavenly Father,

Fill my heart with Your love, teaching me to love selflessly and with grace. Guide me to relationships built on trust, kindness, and understanding. Help me reflect Your love in all I do, and lead me toward the love that is right for me. Amen.

"I wouldn't have eaten the forbidden fruit" yes you would have. Why? Because you do it everyday. Because every character in the bible does it (with a few exceptions) over and over and over again. The narrative uses different ways of talking about it, "taking the fruit", "getting bit by the snake", etc but the real point is that your absolute failure to read the bible as a narrative, and instead to insist on historicity as your primary way of reading scripture, is the root issue here because it causes you to be blind to the actual message of the Bible.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23

Godly living is compared to good fruit in the Bible. We all want to live godly lives and bear good fruit, but it almost seems impossible. It’s true, we can never bear good spiritual fruit in our own strength. We are bound to fail. But Jesus teaches us how to bear fruit: by leaning on Him. By abiding in Him. As you do that, the Spirit of God will work in you and enable you to produce much fruit.

Isaiah 41:10 NIV

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
