Fishers of Men

"Come, follow Me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."  Matthew 4:19

When God calls us to do something so many times we say I'm not ready, I don't like to do things like that or I don't know how to do that.  We forget that He is calling us.  He knows what we can do when we rely on Him and not ourselves.  He will equip us to succeed when we do it for the right reasons.  He will teach us how to have a true servants heart and to follow Him on His terms and not ours.

Footsteps of Jesus
by Mary B. C. Slade

Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.

Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where'er they go.

Though they lead o'er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam's fountains,
Helping the weak.

Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where'er they go.

If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where'er they go.

Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!
