He's called us all to fish

Growing up I often heard people make the statement of "going into full-time ministry." Don't get me wrong, I do think some people are called to be full-time missionaries in other countries and some are called to be full-time pastors, etc. The problem with wording things in this way implies that other followers of Christ are simply getting a box checked to get into Heaven. As you know, this is not at all what God wants for our lives. When God saves us, he calls us all to fish.

What do I mean by that? God never intended for us to accept his Son as Saviour and hang out or go back to living as normal. When we really ponder on how Jesus washed our sins away and gave us a new life, we should be filled with so much joy we are out telling others about the love he's shown for us. To be honest, I am guilty at times not doing a good job at this. I can brag about a new workout program or tell others how they have to go see this movie but talk about God like it's a funeral! When it comes to Jesus and his love for us, are we telling others with the same passion?

Make it a challenge today to simply share the love of Jesus to someone. It could be a family member, a coworker, a friend, someone you chat with online, or really anyone. Whoever it is, the best news you could ever tell someone is the fact that Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) You can never go wrong with the verse we've all quotes many times, "God so LOVED the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:!6)

Share the love of the Lord today!
God bless!
