My son, you hear the cock crowing in the distance. Will you deny Me? So many of My children do so every moment of every day. My heart is pierced with every denial. Yes, your God feels pain and heartbreak.
I wish that all of My children would open wide the doors of their hearts and let Me in as they would welcome long-lost friends. I would invigorate their spirits with renewed ferver.
Sweep out all that soils your soul and make room for Me! Purge all that clutters your mind so that you will see and hear Me clearly.
Longing for My presence shortens the distance between us.
"Peter said to him, "Though all become deserters
because of you, I will never desert you." Jesus said to him, "Truly I
tell you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three
times." Peter said to him, "Even though I must die with you, I will
not deny you." And so said all the disciples." Mat
26:33-35 (NRSV)
