Jesus saves! He saves us from ourselves. He can change our lives. I am so honored to have Him as my Father and as my friend. He comes 1st in my life and I take my role as a "fisherman" very seriously. My friend's son saw me place the Jesus fish symbol on all my garage sale flyers and signs and asked what it was and what it represented and he thought it was because Jesus fished or liked fish...it was cute. But I told him that Jesus looks upon us as "fishermen for souls"...we are to "fish for man's souls". Do you realize that IS our number one purpose? God created us, than saved us and than placed the responsibility on us to spread the word of Him. To think of others before yourself. To love your neighbor as yourself. To pray for your enemies. This coming from a woman who used to joke around with my girls and say, "I hate people"....God was never pleased that I cited that line let alone repeatedly so I have asked Him to forgive me. My new life is teaching me to love again, trust again and look at everyone with a new light. So forgive that person who you have been holding a grudge against. Be the first person to say you are sorry if you are being stubborn. Let all that bondage go....bitterness, anger, envy, resentment. It is of no worth, no purpose. Be the light today, be the example today. Share your story....share your testimony. You just may catch a "soul". :-)
Colossians 4: 2-6
