Still following by faith

I’ve been a Christian for 32 years, but I find that I need the ministry of Jesus as much as I ever did. I am a poor man in need of good news. I am a captive who needs to be released. I am a blind man in need of sight. (Luk 4:18-19) One would think that at some point following Jesus would get easier but it doesn’t. He constantly bids us to leave our nets, follow him, and fish for men (Mar 1:17). Faith is a muscle that atrophies with disuse. Jesus is constantly bidding us to exercise faith and continue to follow him into unknown territory.
