John 18:27 “Peter denied (knowing Jesus) again: and straight a way the cock crew”

Acts 2:14 “But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice”

How many of us have made a mistake in our lives? How many have had on opportunity with someone we considered special but we said the wrong things or did the wrong things and then blew that wonderful opportunity?

Well there is good news you are not alone for Peter did the same.

He loved the Lord and somehow because of fear he denied even knowing Him. Peter was so upset he was in the deepest regret he had ever known. We read he went out and wept bitterly!

Oh how he longed for another chance to prove how he loved Jesus. God was so merciful and did just that. He gave Peter another chance, and we read later that peter gets up in new courage and tells everyone about Jesus.

The good news is that our Lord is able and willing to give us another chance as well. It may be another chance in our spiritual lives or it could be another chance with a special person we got on so well with and blew it.

Ask the Lord He is willing to give you another chance. He is good that even the mistake you made can be used to make another chance be even more powerful and stronger just as Peter was filled with new determination.

The Lord can take those mistakes and make us wiser and more prayerful in how we deal with our circumstances. So hope again God is the God of another chance.
