God has called you by name. Your successes are not what make you so beloved, but perhaps it is the other way around. Again and again like Peter, God reaches out to you when you fall. He rushes to you, to catch you when you cry out to him. Your failures do not disqualify you, but rather give you a place to start again, a space for a new beginning.
