In John 13, we see two important examples of God’s love at work. Jesus knows that Judas will betray him and that Peter will deny him, yet, in the moment, Jesus fully loves both of them anyway. Despite their future failures, Peter and Judas were fully known and fully loved. This love is true for you as well. God knows you’ve blown it, and he knows you will blow it in the future; and yet, his love and grace are waiting for you. No matter the size of your shame or how badly you’ve blown it, you are fully known and fully loved by God. God’s transformational love can change your story and will write a better ending.
