I think I'm going to puke:
Quote:
Peter
The name Peter means 'little rock'. What use is a little rock? In God's hand it can do many and mighty things, for little is much in the Master's hands. Rocks have been used to build walls, pave paths and build foundations. And this is what Peter is, a small piece of the foundation of which God builds His church. Many times Peter feels he is not of much use; that he has little or no gifts or talents to offer God or His church. But when Peter gives his all over to the Lord Jesus Christ he great in His sight.
Peter seems to be just a natural kind of guy and until he gives his all to the Lord. Whatever way in which he may stand out from the crowd in the natural pales in comparison as to how he truly stands tall when anointed by God's Holy Spirit. Peter is a very capable man in many ways. Many people call on him for help in so many ways for so many things that sometimes he may feel 'used up'. However, as he seeks God's face he is renewed again and again.
He is solid; unmoving in his thoughts and attitudes on may subjects. Just like the Rock on which he stands, Peter is a rock for those in his life. He is not infallible and when he does fail Peter knows to Whom to look for forgiveness and strength to continue.
Pro 10:25 . . . but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
