📖 And more and more believers were added to the Lord, crowds both of men and women. Sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow would fall across some of them as he went by! And crowds came in from the Jerusalem suburbs, bringing their sick folk and those possessed by demons; and every one of them was healed. ⎯Acts 5:14-16 The Living Bible
Look at how God was using Peter. There were so many miracles and healings taking place that they simply wanted his shadow to come across those who were sick. Everyone that came from the Jerusalem suburbs was healed. This is Peter. He was the same man who denied Jesus three times. This is the man who left the disciples and went back to fishing. Peter could have given up. He could have done what Judas did, but he didn’t. He bounced back. Peter did not allow the past to hinder his future. Even though he made mistakes, God had not changed His mind about what He had for him. In the same fashion, God has not changed His mind about you! When you confess your sins, He forgives and forgets. He wants you to finish your race and to finish it with joy. So, don’t give up on God, because He won’t ever give up on you.
