Come and Follow Me

I do not know how many times Jesus said, “Come! Follow me,” but one writer I looked up said that Jesus said, “Follow me” 21 times. 

     I imagine that when Jesus says, "Come," He wants me to: 

 

C -all on Him daily 

O-pen my heart to His Word 

M-eet with Him first in every day  

E-nter into talk with Him in times of need and in times of plenty

         and

"Follow Me" would  be "Believe" and do as He did.

 

Follow Me!

Jesus said, "Follow me." 

     I read in someone else's writing that Jesus said, "Follow me" thirteen times.  He used those simple words to call some of His disciples, and they followed. We are given these same words today. Here are a few ways we can follow Jesus: 

F all in love with Jesus 
O bserve Jesus' example and do the same
L et go of self-will to do God's will
L eave Satan's ways
O bey God's commands
W orship God and praise His name
     

     

Follow Me!

I love that Jesus said, 

    "Follow Me!”  And...

           …you shall not perish but have everlasting life.       John 3:16

           …I am with you always.                                    Matthew 28;20

           …My peace I give unto you.                                    John 14:27

           …You shall be given the Holy Spirit to teach you.  John 14:26

Because I believed and followed, I have joy.
