So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,

Lovest thou me more than these?

He said unto him, Ye, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee.

He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

Luke 2115. Thank you, Jesus, that you use broken people to do mighty things.

As I look at the life of Thomas, he represents the areas in my life where I have doubt and fear.

He represents the areas in my life where I have doubt and fear. He represents the areas in my life where I begin to question whether or not the promises will come to pass in my life. However, through Thomas, I also

see the goodness of the Lord, and that you are not taken back or angered by my moments of doubt,

but instead you feel compassion and provide ways for me to lay hold of and to put my hands

on the truth of your word. Through Peter, I see that you give me many chances to regain my position and my honor within your kingdom.

And like Peter, I will not miss my opportunity to proclaim your goodness and your love to the entire world.

With each opportunity of open doors that you bring me, I realize it is you asking

if I love you enough to walk through them and give you glory in all that I do. And to that,

I say yes. I say that I am ready to represent you, Jesus, with all of my heart.

I realize that my time has come.

I realize that the days of being afraid are gone.

And I realize, and I realize,

I am ready for what's next.

In Jesus' name, amen.
