Life has a way of knocking us off our feet when we least expect it. Heartache, broken relationships, grief, and crisis can send us crashing to the ground before we even see them coming. But God has not left us without help. Through the Holy Spirit, we are equipped with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, qualities that help us maintain our footing when everything around us is shaking. The story of Peter reminds us that even those closest to Jesus can fall hard, and yet Jesus meets us in our failure with grace and restoration. No matter where you have landed, Jesus is on the shore, and He is still saying the same two words He said to Peter: follow Me.
