Something New预览

Something more

The sea was calm, flat, nothing new. Weather conditions were the same as the day before. They threw the net and no fish came back with it, so they threw it again and again. It takes patience to be a fisherman.

In the middle of that day's work, they heard, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19). That was the moment: it was something different from everything they were doing. Suddenly, the water was not so interesting anymore and the nets lost their significance. Fishing was normal, but fishing men?

Through an invitation, everything became different. Peter and Andrew, at once, left their nets. Nothing else mattered, the new was standing before them. They abandon the trivial, for now they would no longer be fishermen. They would be something more. They did not hesitate, they simply followed. Something inside them desired for change, something inside them wanted more.

Do not settle for your everyday. When Jesus calls, crave for something more. Do not let the routine erase your dreams, do not let religiosity destroy your faith. Leave your nets and follow Jesus.
