“But Peter said, ‘Man, I do not know what you are saying!’ Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, ‘Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.’ So Peter went out and wept bitterly.” ~Luke 22:60-62
Notice how it says, “the Lord turned and looked at Peter”….. and “Peter went and wept”?
When we mess up, our instinct is to run FROM Jesus in shame but He turns towards us.
If you’re struggling with shame and feeling you cannot turn to God because of ______(fill in the blank) that is exactly where the devil wants to keep you; away from God. My friend, Jesus is turned towards you waiting for you to run TOWARDS Him not away from Him! I encourage you today to run to Jesus and talk to Him just as you would talk to someone who is dear to you and as you talk to Him and share your shame, your pain, your fears, you will begin to feel how close He really is to you and how He desires YOU!
The next time your instinct is to run from God, I encourage you to stop and run TOWARDS God!
