This lesson emphasizes that failure is not final in the Christian life. Using examples from Samuel Johnson and William Carey, who both struggled with consistency in prayer and spiritual disciplines, it shows that God still uses those who are honest about their shortcomings. The central focus is Peter, who after denying Christ three times believed his ministry was over. Yet on the seashore, the resurrected Jesus restores him, asking three times, “Do you love Me?” Each time Peter answers humbly, and Jesus recommissions him: “Feed My sheep.” This scene demonstrates that Jesus doesn’t discard the broken but reshapes them into vessels of grace. The core truth is that God is not looking for perfection but for a broken and contrite heart—people who love Him above all else and are willing to serve in dependence on His strength.
