The Scripture lesson today is in John 21 where Jesus asks Peter three times If he loves Him. Peter is hurt deep down when Jesus questions him, especially the third time.
Chambers says that this particular hurt reaches down where only God can go, and that its purpose in Peter's life was to show him how much he really did love Jesus.
So, I go back to the question at the top. Have I ever felt this hurt? I really think I have to go back to Jesus' original question to Peter, "Do you love Me?", and, although I would answer in the affirmative, I really don't know the extent and depth of that love.
Am I willing to be broken by God to the point of knowing just how deeply I love Jesus?
I pray that this is so......
