Do you look forward to the beach?
Well I know that Jesus does. After Peter denied him 3 times Jesus met him on the beach for a breakfast and a time of reconciliation. Jesus wants us to not only be reconciled with one another but also with Him. After Peter’s denials we read in the book of John that Jesus comes to Peter and after having breakfast begins to question Peter about his love for Him. Peter of course says that he loves Jesus all 3 times that Jesus asks but the teaching ends with well then “Follow Me”. And this may seem simple but it is the hardest thing that we as humans will ever do. And if not careful we can end up in a set of religious acts thinking that this is what makes us holy, when it is really that time on the beach allowing Christ to permeate us with His holiness, His love, and His righteousness. I pray that you too are spending time with Jesus on the beach each day allowing Him to instruct, whittle, and mold your life as only He can do.
