🔸️ Father who loves us even in our failures! 🔸️
We want the Lord God looking us and to say, "My son, my daughter, I pray for you that you would never fall." But, it is a great surprise for us when we know that the Lord God is not praying such a prayer for us!!
If so, what did Jesus pray for Simon? Jesus did not pray that Peter would not fall due to temptation, but prayed that when Peter did fall, his faith in the perfect love of God would not left from him!(Luke 22:31,32). That is, even though Peter fell into the abyss of fall, he said, "God still loves me!" That is what Peter meant.
This is faith! Yes, this is the confession we should always have in our lips and in our hearts!! No matter how deep we sink and no matter how big the abyss we fall into, "God continues to love us as we are!" That is the motto of the confession!!
The prodigal Son had this confession. He believed deeply in his heart that even when he fell, his father still loved him. None of us would have had such a bad situation of eating “pig food” in the downfall. But, even when he reached the abyss of downfall, yet he wholeheartedly recalled that "My father still loves me!" Perhaps, if he had heard that his father was dead and that his older brother was then running the house, do you think he would have returned home? Of course he would never come back! Because he knew the character of his older brother!! So he would never have returned home. But he came back only because he knew his loving father was there!!
Prayer:
Dear Father! May we never tire of our fall; please be gracious on us to believe that You, the Father of love will accept us back! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
