"simon, simon, satan has asked to sift you as wheat. but I have prayed for you, simon, that your faith may not fail. and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
-rabbi Jesus to peter, after he denied him.

stunning and beautiful. Jesus prays for us and over our mistakes through his lens of grace even before we sin, and continues to believe in us despite of it.
"and when you have turned back..."
and his mighty vision of grace whispers in this passage;
I know your heart. you will fail and you will sin and you will hurt people, BUT,
you remain what I name you to be. you are still mine.
TURN.
TURN.
TURN.
and then use the experience of the grace i offer you to encourage your brothers who will do the same.
