Following Jesus is about continually taking the next step toward Him—not achieving perfection all at once.
We often get discouraged because we think spiritual growth should be instant, like the disciples immediately dropping their nets and following Jesus. But in reality, it’s a process. Just like Peter, you’ll have moments of meeting Jesus, moments of following Him, and moments of going back to old habits. The key is not to quit when you fall but to get back up and keep moving toward Him.
Jesus calls you to go deeper in your relationship with Him, not just once, but over and over. Before God ever calls you to do something for Him, He calls you to know Him. The “task” will come later, but the first step is relationship.
