Peter

The fear that I too would be hurt, accused, spit upon, rejected
Rose up in my soul with power and caused me to reject the One I promised I would stand by forever.

How could I have done this?
Don't I have any backbone, any strength to stand when faced with something wrong?
Surely I am unfit to be His.

But as He looked at me, after that cock crowed,
He did not condemn
Yes He knew I would do this,
I remember Him telling me this would happen.
He knew, and allowed this in His grace,
So I could be awakened, 
So I could see my weakness,
So I could see how much I need His help.

He was not angry when He gazed at me,
Just sad.
I think He wants to teach me something through my failure
He wants to teach me something about Himself.
I will wait, I will expect, I will receive.

You want to teach me something through my failure.
You do not reject me
No, You are praying for me, waiting for me to discover Your power, Your love, Your strength,
     Your grace.

You want to teach me about forgiveness,

You want to teach me that when I am weak, You are strong.

I can receive Your strength, Your courage, Your love, Your help.

You want to teach me that You do not reject me, but You accept me.

You are able to change, transform, restore all that the enemy has stolen.

You want to teach me, and overflow me with Your love!!!
