Just Like Peter

I don't know about you but I find myself readily identifying with Peter more than I care to admit. It seems I am quick to swear allegiance to Christ in my prayer time then quickly find myself denying his existence with my words that maim others, actions that speak of the flesh more than the spirit and attitudes that originate out of self-centered will rather than a humble spirit. Yet I find comfort that Jesus still used Peter to build the church. He used a stumbling, bumbling, cursing, fisherman, to help carry forth the gospel message. Who better to speak of God's grace than one who has experienced the depth of their own sinful heart and the heights of the infinite grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
