Jesus' Fishermen and Me

If you have been following this blog during the 40 Days of Prayer & Fasting (University Daniel Fast/ Nationally in USA & Regionally in Boston, New England,) then you have kept up on a sweet journey I have been having with the Lord, in the place of prayer.

Seems I am entering deeper into His heart on Day 30 then Day 1, when I began. Isn't this always the beauty of our days? The Knowledge of the Holy! Holy Love. If we will let it into our lives. It will certainly change us.

"Praise God, our Savior, who daily CARRIES US IN HIS ARMS!" Psalm 68:19

I felt really weak and insignificant this week in the light of my flighty courage. Failing courage. Shallow courage. But yesterday, I began to think of Jesus, the man who came to the earth. I began to think of the disciples He chose, and how He loved them, in all their weakness.
See... it is not about our condition. It is about HIS LOVE.

I wanted to think on the ocean yesterday. I was thinking of the ocean. Thinking of the fishermen that Jesus chose to be his disciples. Sailors. Isn't that beautiful? He used unlikely people to begin His church. It is His wisdom.

He decides what is beautiful.

He says, "Come, follow ME! I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4) Here is the emphasis: Come... (We respond and walk with Him.) Follow ME! (FOLLOW JESUS.) Aaaah, it is such freedom. To follow Jesus. He made a way. He makes a way. The Way, the Truth, the Life.

He whom the Son sets free, is free indeed.

He decides what is beautiful.

He has set his affection upon my life. He died upon a Cross for me. He rose again, that I might live.

He has EYES of FIRE. And they have caught MY GAZE. I will follow Him.

Jesus. The Messiah. I love You. I posture my heart for the next 10 days to love you more. To know You more. To BE WITH YOU. To pray your prayers. To dream Your dreams. I yearn for you. You set me free.

You see my investment in this generation. In this city. In the universities. You are the God who HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYER!

I come to the ocean of Your love and listen to the stories you tell, the Truth You give. Walk in the footsteps of the Son. I will follow. I love You.
