Peter stood…and warmed himself. John 18:18, 25
Peter, [stood] up with the eleven. Acts 2:14
Peter failed by distancing himself from the Lord, standing by a fire with the wrong type of company. He was asked about his association with Jesus and denied Him three times. Then he went out and wept bitterly! The Lord restored him and he took a leadership role with the disciples. On the day of Pentecost he stood with the eleven, his brothers in Christ, preached the Gospel and 3,000 were saved. Dear backslider, get restored and He will use you again for His glory! —Jim Paul
Gather me up—as a chalice all shattered;
Piece me together—once more make me whole,
Gather the fragments—which now are so scattered.
Give me completeness again in my soul. —J. Danon Smith
