Jesus said
to Simon and Andrew, "Come with
Me and I will make you fishers of
men." And at once they left their
nets and follower Him
Matthew
1:17
Come with Me first into the quiet
places of the heart and mind which
the Father has created in His beloved
children for response and dialogue.
Learn to rest and be still there,
offering all busy and anxious thoughts
to His loving concern and care.
Have patience with persistence and
you will receive peace which passes
all knowledge and the power which
enables insight and progress.
And as you learn to seek the Father's
face so will you find a new commitment
to His world of men: for it will
be given you to know and to do all
that He wills. I will be the love
and the power in which you will
become and do all that is required,
Our Holy Spirit the light and guide.
Yours to follow in loving obedience
that which you will discover in
the quiet places of your heart and
mind as you respond to the word
which will be spoken to you. And
as you follow, so shall I make you
a fisher of men.
So will you come to the Cross,
following Me according to the loving
purpose of the Father's will. And
so to you and to every one of the
Father's faithfully committed ones
I shall give the crown of life.
Follow, then in the joy and power
of My love.
