THE POSSIBLE YOU!

Matthew 4:19 Then He (Jesus) said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Yesterday we looked at being on the Potter’s wheel and being made into how God sees us. When Michelangelo carved his famous Angel from marble he said, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” He was doing what God does on the Potter’s wheel. He is setting us free to be who we were called to be.

It’s a bit like when Jesus said to His disciples “Follow me and I will make you…”  In effect He was saying “You are fishermen now but you shall be …...” He says it to you and me too. 

He was talking about the possible you, the possible me. You are…but you shall be…. Jesus has a plan and purpose for each one of our lives too and whether it’s to be a homemaker or a politician, included in it, will also be the call to tell others about Jesus.

He said “Follow me and I will make you….” If we follow Jesus He will make us into who He designed and destined us to be for His Father’s glory. Jesus made His disciples an offer - they took it.

On our own, we may amount to something, but it wont be half of what we could be if we allow Jesus to make us. He has amazing plans for each of us to prosper and not to harm us.(Jeremiah 29:11)

“You are - but you shall be!  Wherever we’re at now, no matter our age, God wants to take us further. He wants to give you His vision of the possible you. Regardless of whether we think what we have now, or where we’re at now, is good or bad, God has so much more for us.😊 

The disciples had been content catching fish. Jesus called them to change lives. 

I wonder what He could do with us if we were to surrender our lives to Him afresh…. what the ‘possible you’, the ‘possible me’ looks like?
Jesus says to each of us, ‘Follow Me and I will make you…’ - God knows!😊

Enjoy a blessed weekend everyone.x
