Peter weeps bitterly, but all is not lost. There is still a path forward.
You and I have wept over things in the world. We have wept for what is lost, for broken things that can never be repaired, for pain that cannot be undone, for loss that forever leaves a scar in the soul. We have cried endless tears, to the point where it feels like there are no more tears, and yet still we weep.
These are the tears that Peter cried. We've been there, and it aches in an exhausting way.
And yet, even here, in our tears, even the tears that we cry when we have failed, when we have given up ourselves and broken our own hearts due to poor choices, there is a path. There is grace. This is not the end.
The Gospel shows us a way through everything that would tear our souls apart. Jesus reminds us that there is light for the darkness, living water for our parched and weary souls. There is hope for us.
So do not dismay, even in your tears. Look to the hills, and be reminded that there is hope in Christ.
