MATTHEW 4:18-22
As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.
It is I who seek you and pursue relentlessly, it is I who say to you 'Follow Me, leave all that enslaves you, that binds you, that immobilizes you, renders you ineffective, and incapable of living life as God meant for you to live it. Today, once again, I seek you, I call you, I invite you to surrender your life unconditionally to Me - have you the courage to say yes? Do you trust Me enough to give Me all of yourself without reserve and follow Me with confidence knowing that I alone can supply all you need to live the abundant life? This is the day, this is the hour, this is the moment - what is your response? Will you say, 'Yes, Lord, where you lead I will follow'? Be not afraid, I will fully satisfy every need of yours according to My riches in glory.
