Acts 25:13-21; Psalm 103; John 21:15-19

Restored and forgiven

When trust has been betrayed it can take a long time to restore and sometimes the relationship is never fully the same again. Jesus shows that he fully accepts the contrition of Simon Peter by trusting him with the greatest of responsibilities. How do I relate to those who have let me down and then shown remorse? God can give us the grace to trust again, especially when we also pray for that person.
