When we fail, but faith doesn't. Christ lived rooted and grounded in love, dependent upon grace as He suffered unjustly, repeatedly. We are to live in that same grace. Jesus prayed that Peter’s faith wouldn’t fail, even though he did. The Lord delineates between our faith and our soulish actions. He knows we will fail, yet He prays that our faith will prevail.
 
The Father doesn’t keep us from sin; He provides grace to return over and over while we are being conformed to the image of His Son. Jesus sees in me the parts that seem impossible. He’s not trying to capture us to shame us, but to call us back to Himself, to salvation, to freedom.
 
King David goes from taking a census (counting his army to determine his own strength) which results in the death of many to repenting and receiving the vision for the temple.
 
What’s the biggest lie? That we can do life without total dependence on God. Only God can grant repentance, the ability to hold a new thought. Repentance leads us to the knowledge of the Truth. Truth is Jesus Christ, and what brings us to our senses so we can escape the devil’s snare.
 
Peter would not have become the Peter of Acts without his greatest failure.
