Fishing For Souls.

“Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”” Mark‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭

I remember being a little kid in Sunday school and hearing of this story. I always pictured these two min on a boat at a dock, and Jesus walking up to them. When they dropped their nets to follow Him I imagined them smiling. I often try to remind myself about how Jesus was here to fish for men just like we are. Our sole purpose on this earth is to become so close to Jesus that we show Him through us and bring others to Him. We are here to fish for the lost souls. We all want an eternity with Jesus as Christians, and who wouldn't honestly? I find myself in fear for those who are not willing to be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit for their eternity. I can tell everyone that I know that they need to find that, but I cannot make them. I cannot save souls, I can only help them find the truth and hope that they choose to get their souls saved. Today, when you're going on about your life, remember you are here to fish for the lost souls who might not understand the importance of being saved. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “And they left their nets at once and followed him.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭ “Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is.”Psalms‬ ‭66:2‬ ‭ “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52:7‬ ‭ “Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭2:38‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
