Jesus is still
walking by your side. He sees you praying, working, and talking. He knows all
your activities. He is present in your life even if you do not realize it.
Furthermore, he calls you with his gentle voice: "Follow me!" It
means: become holy as your heavenly Father is holy. Jesus encourages you and
speaks to your heart directly.
Jesus also looks at your relations with family and friends. He is aware
of everything which is happening in your life. Jesus sympathizes with your
emotions. He is eager to help you overcome the difficulties.
Only Jesus can make your life prosperous and gorgeous. The point is how
you respond to his calling and invitation. Are you ready to obey him rather
than your experiences and ideas? Are you not afraid of changing your attitude
and behavior?
Look! There are so many followers of Jesus. All of them are weak and
sinful people. But Jesus makes them apostles and heroes.
Jesus knows very well that deep in your heart you are a child of God. He
sees not only your face but also your soul. For that reason, you cannot cheat
him.
Eventually, Jesus Christ teaches you what love is. True love is much
more than love for your closest ones. Divine love is stronger than the love
of your friends. His love is without limit and capable of dying for
others.
Would you like to leave your private boat and sell everything for Jesus'
sake? If you are brave enough and have faith, you can follow Jesus...
