Jesus called Simon Peter, an ordinary fisherman, and his life was never the same. Like us, Peter tried to be faithful, but he was flawed. At times he experienced doubt, made promises he couldn’t keep, had good intentions but made many mistakes, and felt like a failure. Yet he was used to spread the hope of the Gospel and impact so many for Christ. He sounds like the perfect person to remind us about the ups and downs of following Jesus and the imperfect pursuit of spiritual growth.
