When he finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Push the boat out further to the deep water, and you and your partners let down your nets for a catch.” “Master,” Simon answered, “we worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I will let down the nets.” Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” They pulled the boats up on the beach, left everything, and followed Jesus.
Luke 5:4-5, 10B-11 GNBDK
Reflection:
Jesus was known for his family trade of carpentry, so when He told Simon Peter to cast he nets in the sea for catch, Peter could have rejected that advise, but instead chose to obey. And what a catch he caught, all glory to Jesus. God knows all the desires, plans, needs and wants in our life. For he himself has placed them in our hearts, and this is done for a purpose, a purpose that is his. The question is are we willing to leave everything and follow Christ?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father, opens the eyes of your heart to recognize the calling of Jesus. May you be filled with radiant joy and everlasting peace as you willingly leave all else behind to follow Christ. And may his Holy Spirit be with you, in all that you do. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
