Starting it now
Well i told myself that i would start a journal, but i really hate to write so maybe i'll just make it a blog. I also changed the title of my account because i'm gonna be going over 2 Peter and i don't know how long it's gonna take so just sit back and hang on. Chapter 1 verse 1, 'Simeon, Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the rightiousness of our God and savior Jesus Christ.' We know Peter because of his writings in the bible and we also find out what kind of man he was in the gospels. He was a fisherman in the sea of Galilee and had a brother named Andrew. What could it take for a man who had been a fisherman all his life, after catching a net full of fish, to just drop everything and go. I bet he looked at that net full of fish like he had so many before, and realized that he could fill that net 100 more times, and in the end it would still end up being an empty net. He had everything he needed standing by the shore asking him, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."Mathew 4:19. I guess what i'm saying is that we should be like peter and drop our nets. Matthews account says that peter didn't even think about it, he just dropped everything. Lets fill our lives with the love of God that was shown to us through Christ, which is eternal, imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. And should we fail just as peter did in the final days of Christ when he denied Christ three times, it should show us just as it did to him how weak we are, and the hurt and pain that we feel when we let Him down. But realize that we fall short of the glory of God and He is merciful and forgiving to those that repent. Well that was a little longer than i expected and i could keep going but i'm gonna cut it here, but i'll pick it up as soon as possible. I guess next time i'll actually start talking about the bible verse! HA. I hope this is an encouragement and may peace and grace be multiplied to you.
