God Chooses You

Jesus said to Simon Peter… “Do you love me more than these?”—John 21:15 (NIV)
Jesus forgave Peter and offered him three chances to correct his wrongdoing. Jesus offers you the same love and forgiveness. No matter how many times we doubt or turn away from Him, He welcomes us with acceptance and open arms.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your endless grace and forgiveness that helps me to grow closer to You.
