What does it look like in your life to “cast your net”?

Personal Reflection
Is there something you refuse to “drop” to follow Jesus? Are you trying to follow with a heart that loves Him and loves your “old life”? Let go of your “old net” and commit to fully following Jesus today. If you have never made the decision to follow Jesus, today is the day for you! He knows your heart. Talk to Him. Tell Him you want to follow Him and ask Him to help you know how.
