When Jesus called the first disciples; He didn't go to the temple,
And get the ones that knew the Scriptures the best.
He didn't go over to the market place, Where all the people had all the money,
And they had the most pull in the social places... He didn't go to the most popular people...
He didn't go to the smartest people... He went to the ignorant fishermen.
He went to the people that were not set in their ways,
And didn't believe that they knew everything... No, He went to the people that willingly dropped
their nets. They dropped everything that they were doing...
They dropped everything that they knew - to follow HIM.
So, have you dropped everything that you're doing to follow JESUS?
Have you laid aside everything that your parents taught you,
Everything that the people at the church taught you?
Have you put to the side all that the world has shown you,
All of your practices, all of your traditions? Have you went to Jesus with an open mind and
an open heart, And said, "Lord Jesus I hunger and thirst
for You, Will You fill me up, will you show me the
way, I don't know anything...?"
Have you went to Him and truly said, "LORD I don't know anything, I need You to
show me the way." "I need You to show me the TRUTH."
Or have you gone to Him already thinking you know it all.
Because, my friends, Jesus wants to lead us and guide us into all
truth. He wants us to be filled with His Spirit.
But, until you lay it all down, Until you drop what you're doing and follow
Him; You will be doing your own thing...
I pray that you will go to Jesus and say, "Lord I don't know anything, Lord please fill
me up, I don't know what I've been taught,
I don't know if it's right or if it's wrong, But I want YOU to show me, LORD I'm teachable...
LORD I want to know..." Go to Him and cry out to Him.
Ask Him to show you... Ask Him to show you how to be righteous...
Ask Him to show you what holiness is... Ask Him to show you what it means to obey
Him and follow Him... Ask Him to make you a disciple.
Only He can lead and guide you - go to HIM. May Jesus bless you.
