Let Down Your Net

Let Down Your Net... Jesus told his disciples; "let down your net." They were amazed how many fish they would get. What happened? They couldn't explain. So many fish.were caught. They were hard to contain. Peter was astonished, and fell on his knees. Asking Jesus; "Forgive me now... please!" Peter, James and John... Left everything behind. Following Jesus was what they had in mind. Perhaps your "net" is empty. Jesus says; "Let it down." There's a great harvest for you. Waiting to be found. Be a fisher for Jesus. A fisher of men. So that others may be saved from their sin. "Come follow me." The master is calling for you. Each step you take toward him... He'll take TWO! By Jim Pemberton

Awesome Jim. Well written verse in rhyme to remind us of His great Love. I saw an interesting sign on a church bulletin board you may find amusing and thought provoking... I did. It said " Be fishers of men... God will clean them ..": ) ejoyed your poem. God bless
