Just a regular person? So were the disciples. Simon, later called Peter, was impatient and flawed, yet Jesus chose him. ✨ When Simon obeyed Jesus and cast his nets, his boat overflowed with fish 🐟🐟—because he listened. He could’ve kept it all to himself, but instead, he called others to share in the blessing, and they too became disciples. 🙌 Who you surround yourself with matters. Later, when Simon walked on water 🌊, fear made him sink—proof that focusing on the storm makes us miss the miracle. But Jesus lifted him up, just as He lifts us. 🙏 God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. The world says you’re not enough—God says you are. ❤️
