| Welcome to the start of another year. When the clock struck twelve, we left the old and entered the new and people all over the world shouted 'Happy New Year', what were you thinking? Were you looking back relieved that last year was over because it's been tough? Or were you feeling excited because last year was great and this year could be even better? Are you still getting swept up in the celebrations visiting family and friends or sitting feeling lost, empty and alone? Whatever your thoughts and feelings at the start of this New Year, God is asking you to 'Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.' Jesus first said these words to Peter. He was a fisherman at the time - a great one, excellent at his job and probably quite happy where he was. But Jesus gave him the opportunity to learn something new, different and amazing. Taking that opportunity meant Peter saw something incredible. He achieved the impossible, his life was dramatically changed, and he impacted millions of others. Will you take up the opportunity Jesus is giving you this year? Will you place all that you are, all that you have, all of your everyday life with Jesus? Will you live life with him, for him, his way? Don't miss the opportunity. 'Launch out into the deep' and don't look back. |
