Consider This:
- How is Peter being honest about his brokenness?
- Does he make excuses about his denials?
- What is Peters priority?
- When you make a mistake what is your priority?
- Is this a good priority to have?
Treasure Application:
- Are there any areas in your life where you have failed and are struggling like Peter?
- Are you lifting that situation up to Jesus in prayer?
- Have you seen God moving in that area of your life?
- Are you willing to accept His love and forgiveness?
