Why are you so good to me?

Lord, like Peter, I have been blessed so much by you, even though I don’t deserve it.

I look at the blessings you give me, I look at my sin, and I ask, “How can you be so good to me? Depart from me! I am a sinful man! I don’t deserve all this!”

And yet you look at me with your gentle eyes and say, “Don’t be afraid. Join me in my work. Join me in touching others as I have touched you.”

So Lord, with Peter, I say, “At your word, I will…”

In your precious name, I pray, amen.
