Matthew 26:75 (ESV) - And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.Have you ever felt like failure defines you? Maybe you’ve made mistakes you wish you could undo, or spoken words you can’t take back. Peter, one of Jesus’ closest disciples, knew what it was like.On the night Jesus was arrested, Peter promised, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you” (Matt. 26:35). Yet before morning came, Peter denied Jesus three times—even swearing that he didn’t know Him. When the rooster crowed, Peter remembered Jesus’ words and wept bitterly (Matt. 26:74–75).Like Peter, we all reach breaking points. We give in to fear, pride, or weakness. And like Peter, we can feel crushed by guilt and wonder if God is done with us. But here’s the good news: failure is not the end of the story with Jesus.After His resurrection, Jesus sought Peter out. By the Sea of Galilee, He asked three times, “Do you love me?” and each time, He recommissioned Peter: “Feed my sheep” (John 21:15–17). Jesus didn’t just forgive Peter—He restored him and gave him purpose again.That’s who our God is. He doesn’t just point out our failures; He steps in to redeem and restore. Your story doesn’t have to end with denial, shame, or regret. In Christ, restoration is possible.Where in your life do you need God’s restoring grace today? Bring that brokenness to Him, and believe that He can make beauty out of failure.Prayer:Lord, thank You that my failures don’t define me—Your love does. Restore my heart, renew my faith, and help me to follow You with courage and humility. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
