Jesus is a God of restoration! This is one of the great works that He did during his life and ministry and even in his last days here on earth after his resurrection. Many of us do things that we feel ashamed of and we then struggle with feelings of being undeserving of fullest participation in God's Kingdom. Peter's story is one that is good for for us to hear because it shows us that our worst mistakes can be forgiven by Jesus and we can be fully restored to participation with Him again.
