I'm so angry I cut off an ear! I'm so sad in denial and fear I'm so happy and cocky and free everyone should all be looking at me walking on water, my faith is so strong but it never seems to last me too long ups and downs and ins and outs smiles and laughter, then tears and pouts why am I such an emotional mess do you know who I am? I'll give you one guess. I'm Peter, the disciple that followed the Lord Who loved Jesus, right down to my core hot tempered and passionate, all over the place but Jesus was patient, love shown from His face He took an emotional, and hot-blooded dude spouting off at a slight, and who may have been rude He saw the potential, strong man I could be and never once did He ever give up on me He built his whole church on this foundation showing us anybody can enjoy His salvation If your ups are real high and your downs are so low and you can't seem to be happy wherever you go if you're out of control and don't know what to do Just ask Jesus, and He can help your moods too
The name Peter means "Rock" and was given to him by Jesus when he was still an emotional mess, because Jesus knew he would become SOLID! Unmovable, unwavering, unshakable. You can find his story in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. :)
