Luke 5:11

When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

What would it take to make you totally change the direction of your life in an instant?

Jesus had just told three fishermen to cast their nets again after they had caught nothing all night. When Peter, James and John lowered their nets this time, they caught so many fish that their nets were tearing.

Peter’s reaction was, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

It’s as though he felt he didn’t deserve such a miracle of generosity. 

Isn’t that how we are?

We look at our imperfections and the selfish choices we have made and feel that we aren’t worthy of God’s love.

And yet Jesus seems to say that our worthiness or achievements have nothing to do with God’s response to us. 

God’s response is out of unconditional Love for us.

It’s the kind of love that, if we opened ourselves to it, might move us to change our lives and drop all the trivial pursuits for happiness that will never satisfy our souls.

Following Jesus is the way to living as your true self.

The way will not be easy…but Love will carry you to the life you were meant to live.
