Commenting on Luke 22:61 KJV - 'And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the rooster crows, thou shalt deny me three times.' - Commentator Matthew Henry shares: The Lord turned and looked upon him. Christ is here called the Lord, for there was much of divine knowledge, power, and grace, appearing in this. Though Christ had now his back upon Peter, and was (in) his trial (when, one would think, he had something else to mind), yet he knew all that Peter said. Christ takes more notice of what we say and do then we think he does. When Peter disowned Christ, yet Christ did not disown him, though he might justly have cast him off, and never looked upon him more, but have denied him before his Father. It is well for us that Christ does not deal with us as we deal with him. Matthew Henry

Mercy, what is it? God knowing me better than I know myself and still not only loving me, not only liking me, but wanting me for His friend, His daily walking companion, the eternal sharer of His home! Such love indeed.
