Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” Matthew 4:19 (NLT)
Jesus called out to his early disciples to embark on a new journey which would change the focus of their lives. The result would be a new purpose but would require a transformation from who they were to who they would be. As they spent time with Jesus, they became more like Him.
Jesus calls us to follow him, and this means a dedication to making Him the primary focus of our lives. When we answer the call, our purpose become God’s greater purpose, and we can expect that our lives will be transformed. This will happen as we give ourselves to time with God. We need to be with Jesus!
We want to embark on this journey together, so we encourage you to join in these shared practices. We pray that these tools will help you structure your time with God. As you start to build consistency in your time with Him, the Holy Spirit will breathe life into you. You will start to hear his voice, and you will start to change to be more like Him.
