Beautiful

"Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
-Mark 1:17, 18

When Christ gives us direction, we must follow Him. Now when we feel like it, but when He calls us.

My challenge to you is to follow Him with your whole being. If He calls you, drop whatever you're doing, and follow Him. Just as the apostles were working in what they thought were to be their life long professions, Christ literally called them to follow Him and become fishers of another kind. They immediately dropped their nets, and followed Him.

It is about time that we surpass those plans that we have for ourselves. Those plans that our families, friends, co-workers, professors, etc. have for us, and we follow His Plan. Not that we plan to follow His Plan, but that we do so right now.

What He wants us to do might not be something we ever thought He would call us to. Just as fishermen, tax collectors, physicians, and tent collectors never thought that Christ would call them to be apostles and missionaries. We must be still, wait, listen, and obey to His most beautiful voice, His sweet ideals, and luscious plans.

Do not be discouraged. He will lead us in the right direction. All we need is faith.


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
-Jeremiah 29:11
