Meet Me in Galilee
Jesus told them, “After I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
—Mark 14:28
He knew they’d fail. He knew they’d run. He even knew Peter would deny Him three times. And still—He made plans to meet them again.
That’s grace.
When we mess up, we often hide—behind shame, guilt, fear, and pride. We exclude our imperfection but Jesus includes it. He doesn’t cancel us. He calls us. He goes ahead of us—to Galilee.
Galilee is where grace begins again.
It’s where failure doesn’t get the final word.
It’s where Jesus says, “I still want you. I still choose you.”
David said, “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away…” (Psalm 32:3). Unconfessed sin steals our strength. But confessed sin opens the door to joy.
God doesn’t love the perfect version of you. He loves the real, broken, struggling you.
You are fully known—and fully loved.
So stop hiding. Stop pretending.
Bring your wounds, your regret, your secrets.
Meet Jesus in Galilee.
That’s where restoration begins.
Strong Blessings,
Cedric
