John 21:15
"When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs.""
How would you answer that question if Jesus asked you? We are not much different than Peter, fearful of speaking up because of what others think.
Jesus does ask you this question, what are the things that take priority in your life? Is it possessions, what about pride, self, status, money, comfort. I am sure Peter was uncomfortable but maybe that was Jesus's point. Be willing to make room for God and grow.
Lord God, you know us like no other, help us see, give us strength to love You more. Send us your Holy Spirit to help us grow. Open our hearts and minds to Your calling. Help us make room for you and to place you first in our lives. In our times of need may we hear You speaking to us. In Jesus name, Amen.
