You Follow Me

“If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!” (John 21:22)

            Peter made a common mistake – he allowed his curiosity about what John’s life would be like override his focus on his own.  It is so easy to get sucked into the game of looking at others’ lives.  We can easily complain about what brother or sister so-and-so did or didn’t do, or we can become fixated on the question of why others have wealth, health, or opportunity which we desperately wish we could have… but all of these speculations are a fool’s game.

            You cannot live another man’s life.  The only one that matters is the one that God gave you to live.  Your talents are neither increased or diminished by another’s.  If you are the two-talent man in the parable, constantly glancing at the outcome of the five-talent or the one-talent man does you no good.  Focus on your walk with God.  As Jesus commanded Peter, “You follow Me!”

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
