Antenna's Up

For you and I to connect with the life Christ calls us to in being a "disciple maker", we must have our antenna's up. I took this picture of my daughter Carly and her friend Faith just before they attended "The Bee Movie". The went to the show is costume.

The picture tells the story of something that is true about Faith and Carly. God has their attenna's up, for real! They are caring young ladies, who look to minister God's love and encouragement to their friends.

Jesus calls to us saying, "Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men." A lot has been made about "fishing" and linking it to evangelism. I think fishing is more about having our antenna's up in terms of relationships with people. The Holy Spirit will do the leading as we take the risk to connect with others. He lives in us. Yielding to the Spirit is a supernatural habit formed in us as we submit to Jesus and his leading.

Discipleship is birthed out of listening to God and the people He connects us with when our antenna's are up.
