My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Leave everything to follow Christ and He still gives you everything - John 19-21
Leave the job of fishing to serve Christ and Christ will still provide the fish you need. If you read chapter 21 of John you read the story of Peter and the disciples fishing. Christ tells them to put the net on the other side (and they obey) and they catch 153 fish. But, when they realize it is Christ they run to shore (leaving the fish) only to find cooked fish with bread on a fire at the shore. If we are willing to leave behind the things we love to serve Christ we will find that Christ will still provide those things we love for our pleasure. But, these fish were already cleaned and cooked. Following Christ is not a sacrifice it is a privilege that Christ will reward. The only that has changed is that the disciples no longer want fish. They want to be followers. God doesn't always take away what we desire but when we allow Him to change our desires what we wanted before we want for different reasons in different ways. It is not about the stuff it is about the stuff of the heart. Let God change your hear.
