Women empowerment: forging unique paths 

Jesus' words in Luke 23:29 shed light on, women empowerment, and the unique experiences and paths of women. Let us delve deeper into the themes  and explore their significance.

Freedom from Suffering

“Jesus is saying that love causes suffering. For women, the pain of losing a child is like no other and never ends. But the joy that comes from loving your children wholly and completely is one that I would never trade for a womb that never bore a child.” coach Myrna

These words highlight the profound emotional journey that women go through when they become mothers. The pain of losing a child is unimaginable, but the joy and love experienced in motherhood are equally unparalleled. It is a reminder that the choice to embrace motherhood comes with both joy and suffering, and it is a personal decision that each woman must make.

Unique Paths

“Jesus, however, said that not all women embrace motherhood and encourages women to find strength and meaning in their individual journeys, whether as mothers or in other roles. Choose your own path, seek guidance from your soul.”

Jesus' prophecy acknowledges that motherhood is not the only path for women. It empowers women to embrace their, unique paths, and find strength in their individual journeys. Whether a woman chooses to be a mother or not, her worth is not solely defined by her role as a caregiver. Each woman has the freedom to choose her own path and seek guidance from within to find fulfillment and purpose.

Women empowerment: Breaking Stereotypes

“Jesus's statement challenges traditional gender roles and stereotypes. It plays to, women empowerment, and acknowledges that a woman's worth is not solely defined by her role as a mother. In today's world, women are CEOs and a force in business; we are no longer decorative housewives with the only function to make babies and make our husbands look good.”

These words highlight the progress that women have made in breaking free from societal expectations and stereotypes. Women are no longer confined to the roles assigned to them by society. They have proven their capabilities in various fields and have shattered the glass ceiling. The empowerment of women means recognizing their worth beyond their roles as mothers and celebrating their achievements in all aspects of life. Chelsea Handler and Oprah Winfrey are modern day examples of powerful women who are, childless by choice.

Choice and Autonomy

“Jesus' statement emphasizes the importance of women having the freedom to choose their, unique paths, and make decisions about their lives, this includes, childless women, and the decision to have or not have children.”

The power of choice and autonomy is a fundamental aspect of, women's empowerment.  Personal autonomy is the capacity to decide for oneself and pursue a course of action in one's life, often regardless of any particular moral content. Jesus' prophecy reminds us that women should have the freedom to make decisions about their own lives, including the decision to have children or not. It is crucial to respect and support each woman's choice, as it is deeply personal and should not be influenced by societal expectations.

Oprah Winfrey: A Powerful Example

“Oprah Winfrey is an example of a powerful and successful woman who chose the, unique path, of not having children and not marrying. Oprah was raped as a teenager, and the resulting child died after about a week in the hospital. I am sure the pain of that experience is what Jesus is talking about. The suffering from losing a child.”

Oprah Winfrey's life journey serves as a powerful example of a woman who has embraced her unique path. Despite facing immense challenges, including the loss of a child, Oprah has become a symbol of strength and success. Her choice to not have children and not marry does not diminish her worth or impact. It is a testament to the power of individual choice and the ability to find fulfillment outside of traditional societal expectations.

Women empowerment: future outlook

“In a world that constantly evolves, Jesus' prophecy reminds us of the timeless power of choice and autonomy for women. Whether as mothers or not, women have the capacity to shape their own destinies and find strength in their, unique paths. This message is a testament to, women empowerment, the freedom to choose, and the celebration of individual worth.”

As we reflect on Jesus' words, it is essential to honor and respect the diverse choices and paths of women around us. The empowerment of women lies in recognizing their autonomy and supporting them in their individual journeys. The impact of Jesus' prophecy extends beyond time and tradition, inspiring women to embrace their, unique paths, and find strength in their choices.

The future outlook for, women's empowerment, is promising. Society continues to evolve, and women are breaking barriers and achieving remarkable milestones. It is crucial to continue advocating for gender equality, challenging stereotypes, and creating an inclusive environment where women can thrive. By doing so, we can ensure that future generations of women have the freedom to choose their paths and fulfill their potential.

Altruism: Why We Should Embrace the Servant Mindset

Altruism is the selfless act of helping others without expecting anything in return. “It is often considered one of the defining characteristics of what it means to be human. Jesus introduces us to the, servant mindset. The servant mindset, is doing your duty and not expecting thanks or words of appreciation. This message hit home to me because I always say thanks and expect thanks.  But if we are truly serving our community, we do our duty just like the servant who worked all day in the fields, then he had to prepare his masters meal and then serve him while he ate.  And when his master has no more need for him then he fixes himself something to eat. He does all this without his coveting his master to say thanks.

Introduction to Altruism

Welcome back to the Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life, the  podcast. I'm your host, life coach Myrna Young, and today on Five Minute Fridays, I want to delve into the topic of embracing the, servant mindset. It's an interesting concept that I've been learning and growing in myself, as I've always been someone who expects thanks when I serve others. However, true Altruism is the service without expecting thanks or anything in return. Jesus teaches us that true service comes from a place of selflessness, where we serve without expecting anything in return.

In Luke 17:7-9, Jesus shares a parable about a servant who plows and tends to the sheep. When the servant comes in from the field, he doesn't expect to be invited to sit down and eat. Instead, he is instructed to prepare his master's supper, get himself ready, and wait on his master while he eats and drinks. Only after his master is satisfied does the servant have permission to eat and drink himself. And in this parable, Jesus emphasizes that the servant will not receive thanks for simply doing his job, because his duty is to be of service to  his master.

I expect thanks for my acts of service

This parable resonates with me personally, as I often find myself expecting thanks and appreciation for the work I do. For example, as the host of this podcast, I promote my guests and go out of my way to support them. However, I've noticed that sometimes there is silence after the show airs, with no acknowledgement or reciprocation. But I've come to realize that my purpose is to serve in true Altruism fashion  and if I don't receive thanks, it doesn't diminish the value of my service.

My husband often reminds me not to expect others to pat me on the back, but to pat myself on the back instead. He shares his experience from playing football, where he would make a great play and not receive any recognition from the coach. Eventually, he learned to acknowledge his own achievements and find fulfillment in his own work, rather than relying on external validation. This is the essence of embracing a, servant mindset – finding joy and fulfillment in the act of serving through Altruism regardless of whether or not we receive thanks.

So, what does it mean to have a, servant mindset? Let's explore the key aspects of this mindset and how they can positively impact our lives.

Selfless Service: Helping Others Without Expecting Recognition

True service is rooted in selflessness and Altruism. It's about helping others not for recognition, but because it's the right thing to do. As I serve you all through this podcast, my ministry is to help you transform your mind and, in turn, transform your life. I don't expect thanks or praise for my service, because my purpose is to make a positive impact and support your growth. Embracing a, servant mindset, means focusing on the act of service itself, rather than seeking external validation and reciprocation.

Humility and Obedience: Following Without Expecting Praise

To have a, servant mindset, we must practice humility and obedience. Just as the servant in the parable follows their master's commands without expecting praise, we too should approach our duties with humility and obedience. This means being willing to serve others and fulfill our responsibilities without seeking recognition or accolades. It's about recognizing that our role is to serve and support others, and finding fulfillment in fulfilling that role, regardless of whether or not we receive thanks.

The Joy of Giving: Finding Fulfillment in Altruism

A, servant mindset, brings joy through giving and helping others, even if our actions are not acknowledged or appreciated. It's about finding fulfillment in the act of giving itself, rather than relying on external validation or gratitude. For example, I find joy in giving money to those in need, even if they don't express their gratitude. The act of giving is its own reward, and it allows us to make a positive impact in the lives of others.

Cultivating Gratitude: Appreciating Those Who Serve Us

On the flip side of giving is gratitude. Embracing Altruism also means being grateful for those who serve us selflessly. Whether it's a spouse who supports us or someone who goes above and beyond in their service, we should acknowledge and appreciate their efforts. It's important to recognize that we are not the only ones with a, servant mindset, and to express our gratitude for those who serve us in various ways.

The Ripple Effect of Altruism: Inspiring Others to Serve

Embracing Altruism can inspire others to do the same. When we lead by example and cultivate a culture of kindness and generosity, it creates a ripple effect in our communities. Others see our selfless service and are inspired to follow suit. As Jesus said, someone is always watching, and our actions can inspire others to embrace a, servant mindset, and make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, embracing a, servant mindset, as taught by Jesus in Luke 17, is a path to genuine selfless service. It reminds us that true Altruism comes from helping others without expecting accolades. By adopting this mindset, we can make a positive impact in the lives of others and create a ripple effect of kindness and generosity. So, let's continue to serve without expecting thanks, knowing that our true reward lies in the joy of giving and the knowledge that we are making a difference in the world.

Thank you for joining me on this episode of Five Minute Fridays. Until next time, remember to embrace the, servant mindset, and continue to transform your mind to transform your life. Namaste.

Sowing Seeds in Fertile Ground

In this episode of “Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life,” Life Coach Myrna Young discusses the concept of, sowing seeds, in, fertile ground, and reaping a hundred times what you planted. Drawing inspiration from the parable of the farmer in Luke chapter 8, Myrna explains how this concept applies to various aspects of our lives, including career, relationships, personal development, and investment.

She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and discernment in identifying the, fertile ground, for, sowing seeds. Myrna also highlights the need for patience and persistence, as the process of, sowing and reaping, is not instantaneous. She shares the example of the, bamboo tree, which takes five years to grow above the ground, illustrating the importance of perseverance.

Myrna further discusses the power of compound interest and how consistent and sustained action in the right direction can lead to exponential growth. She advises listeners to avoid wasteful efforts by evaluating where they invest their time and resources. By practicing deliberate and thoughtful actions, managing risk, and harnessing the power of compounded interest, individuals can unlock their potential for remarkable growth and fulfillment in various aspects of their lives.

Sowing seeds in fertile ground

In Luke chapter 8, Jesus tells a parable of a farmer who scattered his seed. Some of the seed landed on a footpath where the birds ate them, some landed on rocks and died from lack of water, and some fell among thorns and were choked. However, the seed that fell on, fertile ground, produced a crop a hundred times what was planted. This parable teaches us the importance of choosing our endeavors wisely and investing our time, energy, and resources in areas that hold the greatest potential for growth and returns.

So, how do we identify the, fertile ground, for, sowing seeds? It requires self-awareness and discernment. We must recognize our strengths, passions, and talents and align them with our goals and aspirations. By doing so, we increase the likelihood of success and fulfillment.

Just like a farmer plants a seed and patiently waits for it to grow, we must exhibit patience and persistence in our own lives. The process of, sowing and reaping, is not instantaneous. Farmers nurture their crops with water, sunlight, and care until the harvest season arrives. Similarly, in life, we must stay committed to our goals even when the results seem slow to materialize. We cannot expect to plant a seed and reap a harvest on the same day. Patience and persistence are key.

Sow seeds in fertile ground and get a bountiful harvest

Have you heard about the, bamboo tree? It takes five years for a bamboo seed to sprout above the ground. Imagine waiting for five years without seeing any visible progress. It's easy to give up. But just like the, bamboo tree, we must keep planting, watering, and giving our dreams attention. Sooner or later, we will reap a, daily harvest.

The power of compound interest is another important aspect of, sowing and reaping. Jesus said that if we plant in, fertile ground, we will reap a hundredfold. This is the power of compound interest. Just as a seed grows into a plant that produces more seeds, our efforts can yield compound returns over time. Consistent and sustained action in the right direction can lead to exponential growth, enabling us to reap rewards beyond our initial expectations.

Think about an apple orchard. One apple can become an orchard with acres and acres of fruit trees. This is a perfect example of, sowing and reaping, in the natural world. Similarly, in our lives, we can experience exponential growth and abundance if we sow our seeds in, fertile ground.

Sowing seeds in non fertile ground

However, not all soil is fertile, and not all endeavors are worth pursuing. It is essential to evaluate where we invest our time and resources to avoid wasting them on unproductive pursuits or unproductive people. Regularly assess the outcome of your efforts and be willing to adjust your strategy as needed.

In conclusion, sowing seeds, in, fertile ground, and reaping a hundredfold is a timeless reminder of the importance of deliberate and thoughtful actions in our journey towards success and abundance. By identifying our, fertile ground, practicing patience and persistence, managing risk, and harnessing the power of compounded interest, we can unlock our potential for remarkable growth and fulfillment in various aspects of our lives.

Conclusion

So, I encourage you to continue, sowing seeds, building, and pursuing your dreams. Remember, sooner or later, you will reap a harvest. If your ground is fertile, you will reap a hundred times what you planted.

Creating Your Life Consciously: Unlocking the Power of Thoughts, Words, and Action

In the book “Conversations with God,” a profound concept is explored: the idea that our sponsoring thoughts, words and actions are unconsciously shaping our reality. In this 5 min with coach Myrna coaching session, coach Myrna explores how we create, consciously and unconsciously. Our creation process as highlighted by God follows the sequence of Thought, Words, and Action. But God suggested a fascinating twist – the reversal of this sequence, where Action, Words, and Thought are prioritized as a means of reprogramming our minds and creating a more conscious life.

The Unconscious Path of Creation

1. Thought

Our thoughts are the seeds of creation. They initiate the process by setting the direction and tone for our lives. What we consistently think about, whether positive or negative, can manifest in our reality. As “Conversations with God” suggests, many of us unknowingly allow our unconscious thoughts to shape our experiences.

2. Words

Thoughts transform into words, and words hold immense power. What we speak aloud or even silently to ourselves can reinforce our thoughts, making them more real and influencing our emotions. Often, we express our beliefs and perceptions through our words, further cementing our reality. I have always written my goals out and spoken them into the atmosphere. That is why, life coaching, works so well. You come into the session with a thought, you speak to your coach and then your coach gives you actions to take. This is the creation process, this is how you make, smart goals

3. Action

The culmination of creation is in our actions. Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts and words. They manifest the tangible aspects of our lives and shape our experiences. The cycle of thought, words, and action perpetuates itself, often maintaining unconscious patterns. Tony Robbins teaches us that we shouldn’t just take action but we must take, massive action.

Reprogramming Your Mind Consciously

Action: Thoughts words then action

In the journey of, conscious creation, we begin with action. By taking deliberate and mindful actions aligned with our desired reality, we disrupt the autopilot mode of unconscious living. Action becomes the catalyst for change. So, for example. If you think you have lack, then you will always live in lack. Your thoughts create your reality but if you give away the little you have, that action of giving creates your abundance because it tells the mind you have more than enough. The first time I heard this was from my pastor. He needed money to close on a property and he said that God told him to give $10,000 away. He did and the universe gave him in return $50,000.

Words comes after thought

Conscious words come next. When we speak or affirm our intentions and aspirations, we reinforce our chosen path. These words serve as a powerful tool for reprogramming our minds and aligning them with our conscious goals. God made the point the useless affirmations would not do the trick, but giving thanks for something we are asking for works. For example, Lord I thank you for giving me this amazing husband. I love you.

Thought words and action

With action and words in place, the final element is thought. By giving conscious attention to our thoughts, we reinforce the new reality we wish to create. We become more aware of the thoughts that no longer serve us and replace them with thoughts that empower and uplift.
Let’s say that you are living in lack. You are in the famine. I heard once that if you have a piggy bank with change in it you are richer than 95% of the people in the world. There is so much you can be grateful for. Start giving away $1 to homeless people on the street that is the action, tell anyone who would listen that by this time next month you will be living in overflow, the thought is gratitude for life for breath for food in the fridge, for the basics, for love!

Conclusion

The book “Conversations with God” provides a valuable insight into the role of thought, words, and action in shaping our reality. By reversing this sequence, we can actively reprogram our minds and create our lives consciously. This shift empowers us to break free from unconscious patterns and take control of our destinies, ultimately leading to a more intentional and fulfilled life.

1. Practice Self-Compassion and Positive Self-Talk

“Self-compassion is the foundation of self-esteem. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer a friend.”

Self-compassion is a crucial aspect of, building healthy self-esteem. It involves treating ourselves with kindness and understanding, especially during times of mistakes or setbacks. Instead of being overly critical, we should practice, self-forgiveness, and offer ourselves the same support we would give to a friend.

2. Set Realistic Goals

“Setting achievable goals, can boost your self-worth by giving you a sense of accomplishment.”

Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’”

Introduction to Parental Favoritism

The, parable of the Prodigal Son, teaches us about love, forgiveness, and the complexities of, parental favoritism, in family dynamics and why we should, avoid, parental favoritism, with our children. In it, we can find valuable lessons on how parents can avoid, parental favoritism, among their children, fostering a harmonious and supportive family environment.

Avoid Parental Favoritism by giving children Equal Love and Attention

“Parents can avoid, parental favoritism, by showing children you love them with gifts and affection. It is not just important to leave them an inheritance, children need evidence of your love. Why would a rich father never throw his sons a party and kill a goat or a cow? Parents should ensure that each child receives, equal love and attention, regardless of their circumstances.”

The, parable of the Prodigal Son, highlights the importance of equal love and attention among children. The father in the story, despite the mistakes and shortcomings of his younger son, welcomed him back with open arms and celebrated his return. This act of, love and acceptance, should serve as a reminder to parents that each child deserves to feel loved and valued, regardless of their past actions or current circumstances thus avoiding, parental favoritism.

Parents should celebrate their children's achievements and milestones without bias so as to, avoid favoritism. Celebrate every achievement, let your kids know that you are proud of them.”

In the parable, the father's celebration of the prodigal son's return symbolizes the importance of celebrating achievements and milestones in a child's life. Parents should take the time to acknowledge and appreciate their children's accomplishments, whether big or small. By doing so, parents can instill a sense of pride and self-worth in their children, fostering a positive and supportive family environment while, balancing love and discipline.

Recognize Individual Needs

“Each child is unique and has different needs. Just as the father in the story recognized his sons' distinct situations. He had one son who wanted his money now and the other son who was willing to do whatever his father asked and that meant working in the fields every day. Parents should pay attention to what each child requires for their, growth and development.

The, parable of the Prodigal Son, emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing the individual needs of each child. The father in the story understood that his sons had different desires and aspirations, and he responded to them accordingly. Parents should strive to understand their children's unique qualities, interests, and goals, and provide the necessary support and guidance to help them thrive. By doing so, parents can create an environment where each child feels seen, heard, and understood and avoid the, favoritism bias.

The story of the Prodigal Son reminds us that parental love should be unconditional and impartial. To avoid, parental favoritism, among their children, parents can draw inspiration from this parable, striving to treat each child with fairness and love, regardless of their individual journeys or challenges.

1.  Mindset # 1: The Importance of Compassion:

“The first thing we need to develop is a, compassionate heart. Very few people have this naturally, they walk by beggars in the street and their wallets are full with money. Just as the rich man ignored Lazarus, this parable teaches us the importance of showing, compassion and empathy, toward those in need. Small, acts of kindness, can make a significant difference in someone's life.”

Compassion is a fundamental aspect of leading a fulfilling and meaningful life. It is easy to become consumed by our own desires and overlook the suffering of others. However the, parable  of the Rich Man and Lazarus reminds us that ignoring the needs of those around us can have lasting consequences. By cultivating a compassionate heart and actively seeking opportunities to help those in need, we can make a positive impact on the lives of others and avoid the pitfalls of a, self-centered existence.

2. Mindset # 2: Material Wealth vs. Spiritual Riches:

“The story illustrates that material wealth does not determine one's standing in the afterlife. It also makes most rich people miserable in this life! Instead, it emphasizes the value of spiritual riches, such as kindness, love, and humility.”

In a world that often equates success with material wealth, the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus challenges this notion. It reminds us that if we want to experience, heaven or hell on earth, we need to recognize that true richness lies in the intangible qualities that we possess, such as kindness, love, and humility. While material wealth may provide temporary comfort and pleasure, it does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment. By prioritizing spiritual riches over material possessions, we can lead more meaningful lives and cultivate a sense of inner peace that transcends the boundaries of this world and allows us to experience, Heaven on earth.

3.  Mindset shift # 3: The Consequences of Ignoring the Needs of Others becomes your hell on earth:

“Ignoring the needs of those around us can have lasting consequences. The rich man's indifference to Lazarus led to his own suffering, serving as a reminder that our actions can impact our future and a life of, hell on earth.  Life is cyclical; one day you are up, and the next day you are down. Don't burn down your bridges; someday you may need to cross over them again. The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of turning a blind eye to the suffering of others.

The rich man's indifference to Lazarus ultimately led to his own suffering in the afterlife. This story reminds us that our actions have ripple effects that can shape our future experiences. By recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings and actively seeking to alleviate the suffering of others, we can create a more harmonious and compassionate world.

4.  Mindset shift # 3: The Great Chasm of Life Choices separates Heaven or Hell on Earth:

“The unbridgeable chasm in the parable represents the consequences of our life choices. Whenever you make a life choice that hurts another person, you can never undo it. It creates a permanent divide and, hell on earth.

The parable of the, Rich Man and Lazarus, highlights the irreversible nature of our life choices. Every decision we make has the potential to impact not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us. The great chasm symbolizes the divide that is created when we choose actions that harm others. It serves as a stark reminder that once a choice is made, it cannot be undone. Therefore, it is crucial to approach our decisions with mindfulness and consideration for the well-being of others, ensuring that we do not create permanent divides that separate us from love, compassion, and spiritual growth and take us away from, heaven or hell on earth.

5. Mindset # 5: Understanding The Importance of Repentance Heaven on Earth:

“The rich man's plea for his family serves as a lesson in the importance of repentance and making amends for our past actions. It highlights the opportunity for, personal growth and redemption.”

The parable of the, Rich Man and Lazarus, teaches us that it is never too late to seek redemption and make amends for our past actions. The rich man's plea for his family demonstrates the, transformative power of repentance, and the potential for personal growth. It reminds us that we have the ability to change our ways, seek forgiveness, and strive for a life marked by compassion, humility, and love. By acknowledging our mistakes and actively working towards rectifying them, we can pave the way for a future filled with spiritual richness and a deeper connection to the divine and experience, heaven or hell on earth.

Conclusion:

The, parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, is a powerful reminder that our earthly actions have spiritual consequences. It encourages us to live a life marked by compassion, humility, and love, and to make choices that lead us toward spiritual richness rather than material wealth.

Building Trust: Why Jesus Asked Simon for a Push

Building trust, is essential to building relationships. The Bible teaches us that after Jesus was baptized, he was filled with the Holy Spirit and performed miracles and healed the sick with one touch. So why did Jesus ask Simon for a push when he clearly could do it himself? In the episode of 5 min Fridays with Coach Myrna I want to look at how we can establish trust by, asking for help.

Download the podcast here: 

https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/https://chrt.fm/track/897G7/https://prfx.byspotify.com/e/www.buzzsprout.com/1761155/13580178-building-trust-why-jesus-asked-simon-for-a-push.mp3?download=true

The Familiar bible Story:

This biblical account in the New Testament, found in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 5:1-11), narrates how Jesus met Simon, a fisherman, by the Sea of Galilee. Simon had been out fishing all night without success. Jesus approached, stepped into Simon's boat, and asked him to push out a little from the shore so that He could teach the crowd gathered there. Simon agreed, and Jesus taught from the boat.

The Unexpected Request: Another way of building trust

It's essential to grasp the significance of this seemingly mundane request. By, Jesus asking Simon for a push, Jesus established a connection of trust with him. He didn't immediately launch into a sermon or a call to discipleship. Instead, he met Simon's immediate need, displaying empathy and practicality. In a similar way Pastors know they need to feed the body of their sheep before they feed the soul. We can’t pay attention to the word if our bellies are hungry.

The Metaphor of the Push:

This request for a push can be seen as a metaphor for the way Jesus interacts with all of us. Before inviting us to follow Him, He often first meets us at our point of need, offering assistance, understanding, and guidance. This approach signifies Jesus' concern for our well-being and His willingness to meet us where we are and teaches us, how to ask for help.

After building trust: The Call to Discipleship:

After teaching from the boat, Jesus astonished Simon by instructing him to let down the nets for a catch. Despite Simon's initial doubts, he followed Jesus' guidance and witnessed an incredible catch of fish. Building trust, allows others to obey your instructions. It was at this moment of abundance that Jesus formally called Simon, James, and John to be His disciples, saying, “Don't be afraid; from now on, you will fish for people.”

Conclusion:

Check out how the master operates. First, he establishes or, builds trust, by, asking for help, then he performs a, miracle of abundance, and when we are in disbelief, he says follow me if you want more.

The story of, Jesus asking Simon for a push, before calling him to be a disciple holds a powerful lesson for all believers. It reminds us that Jesus meets us in our everyday lives, cares for our immediate needs, and only then extends His invitation to follow Him. This approach embodies the compassion and wisdom of Jesus' ministry, showing that His call is founded on a deep understanding of our human experience.
