In today’s Daily Reflection, we explore how Jesus restores Peter through a tender exchange in John 21:15-17, reminding us that our failures do not disqualify us from our calling and purpose in His service.

"Your past may remind you, but it doesn't define you. Maybe we've messed up. Maybe we've walked away.

"But we need to remember that Jesus still wants us. He still wants to work with us. I often think about where God's calling for me. My kind of caused me to forget that he's called me to serve, to love. And he hasn't changed his mind about me.

"He hasn't changed his mind about us. Jesus, I want to thank you right now because you restore what is broken.

"Thank you for calling us. Thank you for making us know that we are called to serve. We're not just forgiven, and it is our choice to accept this and live like it."
