📖 "As Jesus was walking by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon [Peter] and Simon’s brother, Andrew, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, Follow Me [as My disciples, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk], and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example]." -Mark 1:16-18 Amplified Bible
If you were to look at these men, you wouldn’t think “men of God”. You would probably just see fishermen. When God sees you, He doesn’t see you as you currently are. He already knows what He has placed on the inside of you. He knows the path that He has for you, and He will place people along your path that will cause positive changes in your life. He will place people in your life that will help to influence you to develop new habits and to change your lifestyle. Peter witnessed so many things during the ministry of Jesus. I’m sure he did not know that he would be a pillar of the Church once Jesus ascended back into Heaven. Peter allowed Jesus to change him as He walked with him and followed his example, and the same thing will happen to us if we obey Him and follow His lead.
