But he (Peter) denied it, (that he was with Jesus) saying, “Woman, I do not know Him. (Jesus)”  And a little later some one else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”  But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”  And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him; for he is a Galilean.”  But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying.”  And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.  And the Lord turned and looked at Peter.  And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, “Before the cock crows today you will deny me three times.”  And he went out and wept bitterly.  Luke 22:57 – 62

Lord it is so easy to find fault with Peter and others when we see them stumble and fall.  Peter never dreamed that he would deny that he was Your follower and yet he did.

Thank You Lord for showing us first of all that You know all things and see our hearts and our motives.

Thank You that You are always ready to forgive us when we see the errors of our way and ask Your forgiveness.

Thank You for allowing us to come to You with repentant hearts.

Thank You for changing us from the inside out.

Thank You for peace – a peace that passes all human understanding.

Thank You Lord.
