To Judas and Peter
So I was reading last night. I started thinking. Does anyone ever wonder why the disciples were chosen to be the disciples? I mean Judas betrayed Him, Peter denied Him, and even knowing this was all in their character, Jesus still chose them. Maybe it's to show all the Peters and Judases of the world that we're all welcome in God's kingdom, that we all screw up sometimes, and no matter how "bad" we are, God will always love us. Maybe it was just all part of the divine plan, that Jesus had to be hung on that cross somehow, and Judas was the ticket. But still, I think that draws a beautiful picture. The Bible clearly portrays the falls of the disciples, that they're sinners just like us. It makes me closer to Jesus. To know that even when He was here on this planet, He loved Judas and Peter, He spent so much time with them, even though He knew what was to come. No matter your character, what you've done, or what you will do, there will always be a place in God's heart for you, and for that, a place in mine. Open your arms, open your heart today.
Thank You God for: Your forgiveness. You overlook so many flaws in all our character. You are love.
