Matthew 4:19 “And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.”During an epiphany there is revelation and challenge. What we may have not been aware of at one time has now been revealed. This revelation may uncover matters that require change. Change is always a challenge. Why? Because change involves sacrifice. We are required to release something that we don’t want to let go of. It could be a habit, possession, grudge, companion(s). Letting go can be new and transforming. By opening to love we find Jesus. Jesus is love .
