Throw It to the Right
Jesus said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. – John 21:6
Conversion. This is a beautiful word but it’s fast becoming extinct. I believe it’s something all of us should work on.
Conversion is “throwing the net at the right side of the boat.” People would rather throw their nets at the wrong side of the boat — to go on living without changing for the better. Then they wonder why their lives become miserable.
Everyone must be converted: unto God, unto oneself, unto one’s family and friends. My friend Mahatma Gandhi (he
doesn’t know me but his wisdom equipped me for life) said, “You cannot succeed in one department in life while cheating on another; life is an indivisible whole.”
Internal conversion is personally redefining ourselves according to our true identity in Christ. In doing so, we are building a momentum of change. And as we are transformed in the Lord, hopefully, we are able to inspire others to change as well.
Go throw your net for a big catch… one fish at a time.Obet Cabrillas (kpreacherobet@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:
Have I been throwing my net at the right side of life?
Lord, let me reap a rich harvest for You!
St. Martin I, pope and martyr, pray for us.
