Mark 1:16-18
As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they left their nets and followed him.

Jesus is calling each of us to follow Him. When we follow Jesus we become the people we were made to be. We find our calling. Ideally, when others see how we follow Jesus…they will also want to follow Him. But following Jesus will require changing our direction. For me…it meant leaving a career in radio news. Changes are never easy…but I can assure you…following Jesus will lead you to more joy, contentment and fulfillment than any other pursuit in this life! What is God calling you to do so that you can be a ‘fisher of people’ as well? How does God want you to be a channel of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion to this world? In silent prayer…open your heart to receive God’s Love. Allow it to nurture you and lead you. Read the words of Jesus in scripture and let them settle in your soul. Start following…or keep following Him…and amazing things will happen.
