Now go out where it is deeper and let down your nets to catch some fish. – Luke 5:4(NLT)
GET DEEPER TO CATCH FISH
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you commit your life to the Lord Jesus Christ
You are expected to get deeper in in truth in your life
The more you hunger to know and be close to him
The more you are responsible to get serious in following.
He commanded us all to get intimate with him and walk in love
We are also commissioned to make disciples of all nations
Are you living the truth in love and service to others?
Are you getting deeper to catch men for Jesus?

My grandfather was a fisherman and sometimes he took me with him fishing in the middle of the night. I didn’t quite understand when I was small why he fished at night instead of during the day. So he told me that at night, is low tide and the fishes are in the deeper waters rather than in the shallow area. So he goes to the deeper area to get a good catch.
According to Wikipedia, the Philippine sea is a marginal sea and its sea plate forms a portion of the western North Pacific Ocean. It has deep sea trenches, among them containing the deepest point on the planet.
No wonder Jesus asked us to get into deeper water to catch men.
