Ever felt like your biggest failure disqualifies you from serving God? After Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus asked him three times: "Do you love me?" This wasn't punishment - it was restoration. Discover why Jesus gave Peter three chances to say "I love you" where he'd said "I don't know him."

In this daily devotional from John 21:15-19, you'll learn why your fresh start isn't about erasing what happened - it's about writing something new over the top. Jesus doesn't ask you to defend yourself. He asks if you still love him.

TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - Introduction: Your Failure Doesn't Disqualify You
0:39 - The Breakfast Context Changes Everything
1:50 - Three Questions for Three Denials
3:00 - Feed My Sheep: Your Calling Isn't Cancelled
3:58 - Grace Includes Hard Truth
4:40 - Prayer: Jesus Is Making You Breakfast
5:22 - Tomorrow: Grace on an Ordinary Tuesday

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Grace rewrites your story in the same place you fell - Jesus recreated the charcoal fire scene not to shame Peter, but to replace the memory with love.
Jesus counts your "yes" more than your "no" - Every new obedience writes over the old failure.

Your mess becomes your message - The parent who struggled helps other struggling parents. The person who doubted strengthens others in their doubts.

You're trusted again - Grace doesn't mean everything gets easy. It means you're trusted with something costly.
