This passage has been on my mind for the past few days…
As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.
– Mark 1:16-18
Today’s Sunday School, the teacher mentioned this song, I Will Follow by Chris Tomlin…
The biggest battle is not external circumstances. It is the internal struggle against one desire. For the desire to go, there’s 10 or 100 times internal forces to stay.
I love the way Mark wrote his gospel. It was quick. It was immediate. The author wrote in such a way like they were in a hurry. He called, they followed. Simple faith.
I will follow – Chris Tomlin
Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow…
All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone
Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I’ll love
How you serve I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You’re the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone
In you there’s life everlasting
In you there’s freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy
and I will follow
