Sometimes I feel very unworthy to be in God’s presence. God knows me, through and through, and when I think on that, I can only feel like hiding or running away. Poor Peter was face-to-face with God, and there was no-where he could run. His only response was to fall on his knees and tell Jesus to get away from him. I get that. Yet, Jesus’ response was full of compassion and kindness, and more than that, he extended an invitation to Peter to join him in a mission that would change the world. Perhaps that is the leap of faith, not to believe that God is real, but that God loves us, no matter who we are or what we’ve done.
