Scripture: John 21:1-9, 10-19
When doors close in our lives, we often see only darkness, but wisdom teaches us that endings are often beginnings in disguise. The story of Peter, who crumbled under pressure and denied Jesus, reveals how God redirects our paths—not to punish, but to sanctify and transform us. Just as Peter’s failures ultimately glorified God, our disappointments may be saving us from something we mistakenly relied on. True salvation is both a process of sanctification and an inner battle, as God dismantles our false selves to reveal who we are meant to be.
