Still Restoring

Who like Jesus?
Faithful all the time
Who can compare to His love
Steadfast, unflinching to the end
 
I recall Him asking his disciples to pray
And the guys tired; slept off
He needed all the help he could get
Yet; they couldn’t tarry for a single hour
 
Perhaps if Peter had prayed
He wouldn’t have denied Him soon after
This Peter that cut off someone’s ear
Denied thrice that He knew Jesus before all
 
If there’s a picture of a betrayer; get Peters
How many times have we also behaved as Him?
He may have also waked us to pray…
Prompted us to give etc.; and we denied Him
 
After His resurrection; Jesus came looking for Peter
You may have denied me before a little girl
But I’m a friend that is faithful to the end
And when He came; Peter had gone fishing
 
He probably assumed he was beyond restoration
But; Jesus wanted to know if his heart was still right
He found him...; do you love me more than these…
Thrice he asked the question;Thrice he answered

I believe He asks this of us all
You may have wronged Him, but He seeks to restore
You don't have to stay in the mistake or error
Get right with the Lord Jesus

Stand up and pray; give as earlier prompted
Do not wallow in self-doubt and condemnation
He is looking out; to bring the prodigal home 
He is restoring; He will pull us up when we fall

Once more he asked him, Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter was grieved that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said Lord you know everything. you know i love you. jesus said, then feed my sheep John 21:17 ...tejuwrite...

More than enough...

I am sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency Esther the orphan was sufficient to be a Queen Joseph the prisoner; was enough to be Prime Minister ...
