When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, "Oh, Lord, please leave me—I'm too much of a sinner to be around you.". Luke 5:8
Peter was pretty quick to disqualify himself for a relationship with Jesus. Jesus was separate from sin (He knew no sin) but He came to rescue sinners. I don't ever want to live in such a way that people think they are too much of a sinner to be with me. Jesus immediately invited Peter to follow Him, without fear.
Father, please help me to live close to sinners, and invite them to follow Your Son Jesus. And may I live as a fisher of men.
