Hi guys! its me again!! haha, got another note to share with you all..

Have you ever felt like quitting?
Have you ever felt disappointed and disillusioned?
Disappointed with others, with yourself and even with God?

In John 21, we see Peter as a disappointed man:
+disappointed with himself that he would be the first to deny Christ;
+disappointed that his dream of ruling with Christ was crashed;
+disappointed even with God!

Peter was so disappointed he decided to return to fishing - not men, but fishes
-abandoning God's big dream for his own small dreams.

In John 21, we see that the disciples fished all night but caught nothing.
In the morning, they saw a man standing on the shores. This man told them to throw their net down on the right side of the boat. When they did, they caught so many fishes that they could not haul in the net. At that, they realised the man on the beach was Jesus!

Why did this cause them to recognise Jesus?

Remember a similar incident about 3 years ago when they fished all night but caught nothing(Luke 5:4-11)? It was then that Jesus called them to be "fishers of men".

This miracle in John 21 reminded Peter that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

He is still the God of miracles!
He is still the God who calls us - to be fishers of men!
He is still the God who gives us bg dreams!
He is still the God who fulfills those dreams!

So come to God today...
+ Let Him resurrect any dreams that have died
+ Let Him restore your sense of calling and confidence - knowing that God has made you the head and not the tail!

Let us abandon our small dreams and pursue God's big dreams for us!
