Back in the day disciples applied to follow rabbis. They did this so that the rabbi could never be turned down, they could never be disgraced or humiliated by getting turned out.
But You put Yourself out there Jesus. You asked Your disciples to follow You, knowing the risk of being turned down. You loved us first. You humbled Yourself for our sake.
Who does Pete doubt? Jesus isn't the one sinking. He doubts himself. He doesn't believe he can do what Jesus does.
All my life I've heard people talk about believing in God, but God believes in us.
What kind of God seeks out Their creation? What kind of God humbles Themselve to die a disgraceful death for Their creation?
Who is like the Lord?
Jesus I am a sinner. I don't desire You with all my heart soul strength mind and might. I rebel against You daily. I mean it, I have no right to be picked by You I have no right to lead any men. I am a sinner if it's not one thing it's another. I am a mess.
But You believe in me. You know me, You've searched my heart. You know how filthy it is and You still choose me, You still believe in me.
Jesus I want to repent and I want to sin.
Change my desires, give me an undivided heart.
