After We've Blown it - Do This?

When Jesus met with Peter and the disciples on the beach for breakfast, He pulled Peter aside and asked him a thought provoking question. One each of us must answer if we are determined to get our life back on track after a poor choice.

Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" See the passage here Did Jesus mean, Peter do you love me more than you love your friends? Or maybe He meant, Peter, do you love me more than you love to fish? Or possibly, Peter, do you love me more than you love your former way of living? Any of these are possible, but at the root here's what Jesus is asking Peter, and you and I?

What will be most important to you as you attempt to move forward? Will we love Jesus more than the poor choice that got us in our difficulty? Will we love Jesus more than we love our family or friends, or hobbies or money or any myriad of other things....

When we make poor decisions or choose bad habits and want to see change we have to decide what it is that really matters to us?

Recently in a game i officiated, a player was more interested in making his feelings& thoughts known than in playing in the game. As a result he was ejected and finished the rest of the contest on the bench. There come times when we all must ask ourselves what it is that we really want? And will our current choices help us accomplish this? Or will we find ourselves dejected and ejected sitting on the sidelines?

This Sunday I hope you'll join me as we answer the question "What if I've Blown it?" Fortunately for us we serve the God of the 2nd Chance. I'll see you Sunday at 9:33am or online!
