The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
John 21:17 NIV
Reflection:
Peter loved Jesus, yet the repeated question upset him. Sometimes we find ourselves in Peter's shoes. We get upset with God because of our circumstances though we love him. But we have a God who loves us so much, that he sent his only son to die, so that we might live. Therefore, we know God loves us and is aware of what we are going through but perhaps has placed us where we are to take care of his sheep.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace heed his call through his son Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, to feed and take care of his flock of lamb and sheep. May his Holy Spirit give you courage, strength and wisdom to take every step in accordance. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
