Peter

Simon & Co left their warm homes for fishing
They engaged their skill all night trying to get anything
Tired they called it a day, washing their nets to return
This labour is a waste; nothing to show for diligence
 

A chance encounter with Jesus started at dawn
He had been preaching and they joined to listen
Soon he will need their boats to help with his audio
Jesus talked, they listened and faith was birthed
 
To say thanks Jesus asked Simon to release his nets
He almost refused; but then thought otherwise
His obedience paid off big-time
It was so much that two boats started to sink
 
Having got this breakthrough calls for drinks
Surprisingly; he forsook all to follow Jesus Luke 5:10-11
Deep down; he wanted more than life at the river
His heart longs after the prophesied Messiah
 
He was not just looking for food
He was in search of a greater call
I want to be more than a crude fisherman
I want my deepest longing satisfied
 
He became a foremost apostle fishing for men
An illiterate to a church leader and author
This fulfills… predestination, pursuit and purpose
The portrait of a fulfilled man
 
Keep pushing …
 
All things will work together for good
Your darkest hour will birth the greatest brilliance
A supposed defeat will spin around pleasantness
Destiny will beckon in least expected place
 
This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing
to all of you who share the same precious faith we have, faith given to us by
Jesus Christ, our God and savior, who makes us right with God 2 Peter 1:1
