Be Strong Courageous as Disciples: Get to Know Peter

For Your Heart Today

We all have parts of our story we wish we could rewrite—moments of failure, words we wish we could take back, opportunities we missed. Peter knew those feelings well. Yet his life reminds us that Jesus never gives up on those He calls. He meets us with grace, restores us through love, and continues forming us into the people He created us to become.

Whatever your past holds, remember this: Jesus names us not by our failures, but by our future. This week, receive His grace once again and simply pray, "Jesus, form courage in me.”

Takeaways
