Including Peter

I've never met a saint. I've never met a man or woman so overwhelmingly in tune with God that I was left awe-struck. All the spiritually striving folks I know are flawed and imperfect, and that's fine. They (and I include myself here at the top of the list) stumble, fall and disappoint God pretty much every day.
But, guess what? God cares anyway. That's why, in spite of Peter's cowardly retreat from Jesus Christ on Holy Thursday ("I tell you, I don't know the man!"), he wasn't banned or condemned. Instead, he went on to become the head of the Church and to spread the Good News.
In fact, at the Resurrection, the angel made a point of singling out Peter, as if to say, “Jesus wants Peter to know that He still loves him … a lot.”
My point: We don’t have to be perfect, if only because we never will be. Still, as clay-footed and imperfect as we are, that’s really good enough. Maybe we should just do our best and leave the rest in God’s hands.
“He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee.” -- The angel in the tomb (Mark 16:6-7)
Enjoy this day. It is a pure gift, a blessing. There is no cost, no charge, no price. Even not being good enough is good enough. Nothing can change the love that God has for us. Smile. Be joyful. Have a glorious and wondrous day! John R. Ingrisano 209 Church Street Algoma, WI 54201 (920) 559-3722 www.DailyConnections.net
