Journey

“Jesus said to them, ‘Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass.’ They didn’t ask questions. They dropped their nets and followed” (Mark 1:17, 18, Message).
Walking with Christ is about the journey not about the arriving to a point of maturity. If you have spent any time walking with the Holy Ghost you will soon realize some of your fellow seekers are crawling, some are stumbling, some walking and some are at a fast pace. I have been at a dead end and that is when, as I look back, that Jesus was the closes to me. At these times, I have grown and my life has changed course. There is no course completed. There is no book with immediate answers. We are to be encouraged. We are never alone. The Holy Ghost is with us continuously, giving comfort, encouragement and guidance.
Who has arrived? I want to know that person. I believe the longest distance in the world is between the come and the follow me.
I have dropped my nets and said, “I will follow, show me the new way of travel.”
