“Then Jesus said to them, ‘follow me'” — Matt4:19
When Jesus called His disciples to follow Him, it was an invitation to be changed by Him, to become like Him, and to share His passion for those who need a Saviour. The high honor of being His follower should show in our lives as well. We too have been called to catch the attention of the watching world as we talk, think and act just like Jesus – the teacher of our souls.
Thank you, Lord for the high honor of being called to follow You. May my life so imitate You that others will know that You are the pursuit of my life and the teacher of my soul.
Follow Jesus and let the world know He is your teacher.

In Luke 10:30-35, we read of a man who was attacked, robbed and left in a frail position. Jesus explained that a priest passed him, so did the Levite, who were both held in high esteem in society but a Samaritan, who’s the last person expected to help, stopped. This Samaritan showed mercy, placed the man on his donkey, took him to an Inn and covered the expenses.
Jesus explained that this is the way we ought to treat our neighbors. We are to be the Samaritan, being merciful and showing compassion. As we meet and interact with persons today, may God present opportunities for us to be the good Samaritan and may we respond in obedience.

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” — John 10:14
We should always come to God just as we are, giving our desperate, unworthy, yet wholly loved selves to our all-powerful, all-sustaining glorious, yet fully compassionate Father. And when we do, we find the overflowing cup of His strength, restoration, wisdom, peace, righteousness, and joy. In His presence is the abundant life. He is the Living Water and the Bread of Life.
When we pray, we should not only talk but also listen. Seek to hear and follow His good paths. Come rejoicing, come playful, come weary, come doubting or afraid. Come to Him in the midst of the valley of the shadow of death. Draw in close and listen to His comforting words of life and hope.
