Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. We are picking up with day five of our

confessions of God's people that are stuck in the middle devotional which is a fictional story

based off scripture and it's been a lot of fun so far. There's a link to the devotional

in the description of the podcast if you all want to follow along with us and as always

I'm going to read the scripture and Tor is going to pick up the diva. Let's do it. The scripture

is John chapter three verse 17 and it says this, God sent his son into the world not to judge the

world but to save the world through him. The devotional is titled Confessions of a guilty coward

Peter he says oh God I am overwhelmed by shame and guilt when I opened my eyes I went to cover

my head with the blanket and stay that way not only am I mourning your death and I'm in shock

by it all but it was my fault I know it was I was the one who betrayed you in the courtyard by

the fireplace I had three chances to stand up for you fight for you and even go down with you

instead I denied you I was even scared of a lowly servant girl who asked me if I knew you

what was the worst they could have done I would have had the chance to talk about you and share

your hope and message of love instead I hunched over the fire hiding my face this guilt is heavier

than anything I have ever felt before in the past I have been looked down upon and disrespected

it used to make my face burn in my stomach drop you were the first person who saw me and made

me feel like I was worth something now that is all lost I wish I were dead I thought I was so

great as the twelve disciples we would conquer the world and show others we were capable look at us

now we are scattered and afraid I am no good anymore I better go back to fishing if I can even

remember how to do that sincerely guilty coward God says Peter the rock I know you are ashamed

and embarrassed I saw the tears in the anguish in your eyes as the rooster crowed you are correct
