In most cases, the refrain “you cannot choose your family” leaves us feeling unhappy and stuck in our relationships. If we step out and try to establish an emotional family with friends, colleagues, or other people, we may still feel lost or let down as life inevitably changes. Our Creator has invited us to a new family: The Family of God. Because of the mercy of God, everyone is invited to belong with Jesus. The life of Peter is an amazing story of a man who understood what it meant to belong!
