Fishing...

Do you like fishing? I always wish I will have chance to fish, yet I wonder whether I will have the patience to do it. On 7th January, when we were at Malacca for staff holiday, we stopped by a Portugis Settlement nearby the seaside to dine. It is a beautiful side. Looking at some of the boats, I remembered the story of Jesus in the Bible where He called four fishermen to be His disciples. "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." [see Matthew 4:19]

These fishermen caught nothing before that, but at the words of Jesus, they let down their nets, and they had a miraculous great catch. It was a great number of fishes that the boat was about to sink! [see Luke 5:1-10]

I was reminded that all of us are fishermen too (for lady is called fisherwomen :D). I am glad that though I am not sure when can I go fishing, but I very sure that everyday I can follow Jesus to be fisherwoman, to be fishers of men. To experience the love of Jesus and the new life He gave me, and then be able to 'catch' many more others to experience the same love and new life. At the seaside, I released a prayer to God, "Lord, make all of us fishers of men."

When I reached my home at Wangsa Maju around evening time on the 8th January, I saw my members were preparing for visitation later in the night. I rejoice within me with my thoughts ringing... "Emm, Lord, your wonderful children are becoming fishers of men later, spreading your love and your gospel. Great!"

Conclusion: To be fishers of men is the greatest and is worthwhile even if I don't have chance to go fishing for the entire of my life =)
