"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." - Matthew 4:19
In a way, this phrase perplexes me, as winning people for the kingdom is nowhere near as easy as catching fish. It takes more than a hook to 'catch' a person for Christ.
I automatically think of the saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
So how on earth do you save a life???
I like what Ronni said about it not being circumstances or our words that change a heart - thank God. Perhaps all it takes is for us to simply but wholeheartedly follow Him, and He will make us into the fishers He called us to be (and successful ones at that).
True, we cannot make a horse drink, but we can lead one to water.
I hope by the end of my life, I have led as many horses to water as possible, and let God do the rest.
