The Love in His eyes....

I've been a part of the Peter Church most of my life...I call it the doing church. The Pray more, fast more, worship more, read the Bible more, serve more, give more, witness more, love more, boot straps more Try harder Church...

Peter: like me most of my life was always the first to respond, the first to speak, the first to draw the sword...a real wanna be world changer.

I was watching him again this morning, even after his most recent failure and hesitancy at the tomb; be the first one out of the boat and swim to shore when he realized it was the Lord....and I watched a big smile come over Jesus face.....as all of the Peter memories flooded in.....haha!

And the light came on..."
Our Father has such a fond affection for the Peter Church...

Immediately with tears streaming down my cheeks I repented for my most recent criticism of His Bride...(last Sunday, and the Sunday before and the Sunday before that)

These last couple of years I have been coming into such an amazing and growing understanding of how much He loves me...like John the apostle that is so powerfully transformational....wanting it so badly for my warn out and exhausted brothers and sisters that I see striving in the Peter church to win the Fathers affection....

that it bordered on criticism and arrogance.

Until I saw how much He loves....
Ohhh...It was all in his eyes...I saw it in his eyes this morning

Forgive me Lord. You have such an affection for your bride!

I just love repentance!
