Teachable you

Beverly Jean McCreary

Jesus joined Simon on the ship and asked him to"thrust out a little from the land."And there he taught.After the lesson, again some words to the wise:"Launch out into the deep, andlet down your nets for a draught."

Christian seeker, could Christ's call be any meeker?More than simple suggestions to fishers of fish,these words are commands to fishers of men!Let us listen and obey!Begin with that thrusting out a little—from matter-thoughts, the "I cannots,"fearful woes, ugly throes of pain and sin.Just begin.
