I can relate closelly to Peter. My study revealed:
“The apostle Peter is a virtual case study in both what to do and what not to do in both ministry and life. He is emblematic of how we all fall down; the difference between him and many of us is that Peter always got back up, and it is in that area that we may be able to learn the most from his life. Peter succeeds and then fails (or fails and then succeeds) because in most cases they happen almost in tandem.
If after his repentance even Peter could still be used by God in service to the Kingdom, then any of us can. I believe this is precisely the reason that the Bible records both Peter’s failures and successes: they show us in no uncertain terms that although we will all fall down, the important thing is that we keep getting up.”
