Still Waters with Pastor Peaches

**Scripture**: *“Jesus said, ‘Feed my sheep.’” – John 21:17*

Peter denied Jesus three times, yet Jesus returned not with judgment, but with love. In one of the most powerful moments of restoration, Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?”—not to shame him, but to call him back into purpose. That’s the kind of love that forgives. It doesn’t erase the past—it redeems it. It gives us room to begin again.

Scripture: “Jesus himself came near and went with them.” – Luke 24:15

After the resurrection, two followers of Jesus walked away from Jerusalem—confused, grieving, and unsure of what to believe. And then, quietly and lovingly, Jesus joined them on the road. He didn’t interrupt. He didn’t condemn. He simply walked beside them.

Resurrection love doesn’t rush healing or demand answers. It walks alongside people in their pain. It listens...

On this Good Friday, we remember the cross—not just as a moment in history, but as the turning point of eternity.

Jesus carried the weight of the world to Calvary, and now we are called to carry His presence, His purpose, and His love into the world.

You are not just a believer—you are a carrier of the King.
This final devotional invites you to walk boldly with Christ, not only in remembrance, but in daily sur...

Sometimes the blessing takes its time.
Sometimes it comes after the wrestling.
And sometimes—God says no, only to reveal a better yes.

In today’s devotional, we’re reminded that some blessings don’t come easy—but they come with purpose. Even in the struggle, God is shaping us for the promise.

“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” — Genesis 32:26

There is strength in holding on, even when it...

Day 3 – The Weight of Purpose

Purpose is a gift—but sometimes it feels heavy.
Carrying the call of God can come with pressure, expectations, and spiritual resistance. But today’s devotional reminds us that the weight we carry is also the weight God helps us bear.

— Zechariah 9:9

Even in your most chaotic seasons, He approaches not with force, but with an invitation to rest, t...

Welcome to Still Waters with Pastor Peaches—your daily place of peace and reflection during Holy Week.

Day 1: Chosen for the Journey
Scripture: Matthew 21:1–3

Jesus didn’t choose a stallion—He chose a donkey. A tied-up, overlooked work animal.
But when the time was right, the Master called.

In today’s devotional, we reflect on what it means to be chosen even when we feel bound, overlooked, or stuc...

Why the Donkey? – Peace in a Time of Pain
In this Holy Week episode of Still Waters with Pastor Peaches, we reflect on the unexpected symbol of Palm Sunday—the donkey. Why would Jesus choose such a humble animal to ride into Jerusalem?
Because He came in peace, even as He walked toward the cross.
Because He understood pain, and still chose purpose.
This message is for anyone feeling burdened, overlooked, or wea...

In today’s Still Waters, Pastor Peaches reflects on the beauty of release. Sometimes growth doesn’t happen until we let go—of fear, control, or old habits. One surrendered seed can produce a powerful harvest.

Scripture: John 12:24

Prompt:
What am I holding on to that’s keeping me from growing?
