Being a disciple of Jesus Christ

Drop your nets and follow Christ

What does it take to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?

• Faith 
• Diligence
• Not making excuses to follow God
• Willing to give up your sins and comforts
• Loving God more than anyone or anything
• Loving others and having charity in our heart and  actions
• Strength to choose the right no matter what
• Courage to testify of Christ
• Humility - having the desire to learn from God, through revelation and the scriptures
• Virtue- having clean hands and a clean mind
• Willing to repent of your sins daily and striving to become better every passing day
• Willing to give up worldly possessions, status and money
• Willing to give your life for God

 Following Christ is not always easy but it is worth it. God is aware of everything I do and He blesses me so much more than I deserve. This is long list and sometimes I want to focus on a couple things at a time. This week I have to chose to work on my humility. I need to be more humble and open for personal revelation through the Spirit. I want to learn more from the scriptures and I want to feel God's presence in my everyday life. I know when I am prideful He struggles to communicate with me. I want an open signal from God and I know I have to do my part.

Being a true disciple of Christ we must give up all of ourselves to serve Him. We must serve with all our heart mind and strength, only then will we see the miracles come into our lives. We must drop our nets and follow Him.
