KEEP THROWING THAT LINE!
I am NOT
Much of a fisherman=
Never liked it much
Not even as a kid=in fact
I hate it!
But I do like
FISHING FOR PEOPLE=
I do like=helping them
FIND THEIR GOD POTENTIAL=
So if you are like me
And love=fishing for people
KEEP THROWING THAT LINE!
Keep on
Fishing for God=IN OTHERS
“Master=we have worked hard
All night
And have caught NOTHING
But at your command-
I will lower the nets”
Luke 5:5
Peter seems resigned
And discouraged=maybe
That is why
He takes FISHING ADVICE
From a PREACHER=he just met
I don’t know about you
But I get REAL DISCOURAGED
When things
Are NOT going my way
But I have SOME ADVICE
For you
DRAW CLOSER TO God=and
KEEP THROWING THAT LINE!
Trust in our God=and Jesus
“Come follow me’=Jesus said
‘And I will send you out
To FISH FOR PEOPLE’”
Mark 1:17
“Then Jesus said to Simon=
‘Don’t be afraid=from now on
You will=FISH FOR PEOPLE’”
Luke 5:10
KEEP THROWING THAT LINE!
For people=FISH for people
In God and Christ Jesus
Trust in God!
No matter
How BLEAK things may look
Our God
CAN TURN=any situation around
He can BRING JOY=from pain
HOPE=from despair
And even LIFE=from death
He has=DONE all of that
FOR ME
It is easy
To take life for GRANTED
When we=are MAKING catch after catch
But we all go through
The dark times
When our nets=are COMING BACK EMPTY
KEEP THROWING THAT LINE!
For God and Jesus=you never know
WHEN you will have a CATCH=like Jesus
Trust in God
“Therefore since we are surrounded
By such a great cloud
Of witnesses
Let us THROW off everything
That hinders=and the sin that
So easily entangles
And let us run=WITH PERSEVERANCE
The race marked for us”
Hebrews
12:1
Dear Lord=we pray
That when we are DISCOURAGED like Peter was=
Let us TRUST in you=and
KEEP THROWING THAT LINE!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER HOPEFUL Holy
Father God!
