I used to worry that I’d be like Peter, denying that I knew Jesus if I were backed into a corner. But I’m discovering that I have a choice every day to follow Him or shrink back into the shadows. My focus needs to be on who Jesus is, not my inadequacies or fears. He is full of love and forgiveness. He will provide for those weak or difficult moments.
“I think God sometimes uses the completely inexplicable events in our lives to point us toward Him. We get to decide each time whether we will lean in toward what is unfolding and say yes or back away. The folks who were following Jesus in Galilee got to decide the same thing each day because there was no road map, no program, and no certainty. All they had was this person, an idea, and an invitation to come and see.” - Bob Goff, Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World
