Jesus is calling you. He is calling you by name because He knows you. He knows all about you, and He chose you. He calls you just as you are today, right now. He calls you to Himself to follow Him. Do you hear the call?

The disciples left everything. Their family, their career, their friends, their life. They just gave it all to Jesus. Their life became about following Jesus and nothing else. No distractions!

Most of us are not called to physically leave all this. We still work for a living, still care for our family, and still live in our community. However, we ARE called to leave all those things as our purpose in life. Our life becomes about following Jesus IN our job, IN our family, IN our neighborhood, IN our family. Our own goals and dreams end so that our eyes and hearts are only on Him.

If we don’t leave everything behind, we are not following Jesus! His call is all-encompassing, all-consuming. His call is to lay everything at the foot of the cross and follow Him, whatever that means.

Do you hear the call? Don’t hold back. Don’t delay. Give it all to Him and follow Jesus today!
