* John 21:17 - Jesus kept asking Peter questions until he felt the pain of it.

* Peter felt the sting of conviction while he received his commission.

* The same should be true with us.

* We need to know we are all Peters, but God still wants to use us for His purposes.

* If you don’t feel unworthy then you’re headed toward an eye-opening experience that will prove it to you.

* Reminds me of the 80’s song “Hurt So Good.”

* “Sometimes love don’t feel like it should…”

* God’s love involves pain for our own good.

* Acts 5:14-15 - Before popularity Peter had to experience pain!

* The pain prepared him for popularity.

* It’s what kept him humble when people flocked to him.
