Follow me and I will make you fishers of men...
I was given a mission, actually a "great commission" to go and make disciples, to teach them what I learned from Jesus, and to trust that He was with me every step of the way.
I'm reflecting upon this today because I've just given a similar commission to a small but faithful band of worshippers. These men and women were never satisfied to get as much as they could but caught the vision to give it away again to others. I believe they will entrust these same lessons to yet other faithful followers.
I would love to stay with them, to enjoy them, to minister with them, and to see them in action. But I know it's time to let them set sail and find where the wind of the Spirit is directing them and they won't find that the same way if I stay.
Oh but I love them!
When you believe in people you realize when it's time to step aside, open the door and watch them embark upon their own mission.
I'll be here and they know where and how to find me.
Their fruit will be my fruit, and all our fruit belongs to Him who first loved us and called us to Follow Him.
