Jesus said
to Simon, "Put our into deep
water and pay out your nets for a
catch … do not be afraid, from
now on it is men you will catch."
Luke
5:4
Listen to the word spoken at your
heart's centre, obey with your whole
mind and will and you will become
and do the Father's will for you.
As it was with Simon Peter in My
Incarnate days so is it for all
who follow faithfully.
Note the obedience of Peter despite
the dictate of his knowledge and
experience: his obedience was greater
even than his faith in the expected
outcome! And he was humbled, for
he realised the authority and absolute
perfection of Him who commissioned
the initiative.
Peter's reward in faithfulness
was to become a leader in the harvesting
of men and women into the Father's
net, the Kingdom of Our love. When
he was faithless he sought forgiveness
and was forgiven and restored to
his great calling and commission.
And so it is for every child of
man whoever lived in truth and love
and faithfulness to that which was
presented to his soul. For I am
present with each one, and with
Our Holy Spirit encourage, cleanse
and bring to ultimate perfection
each faithful one, and present him
to the Father in eternity.
