Try Again

"Give up" everyone know the meaning of the word and often want to give up on something we are up to.
But why would???
Give up because because u are not longing have any strength to continue and it is easy for us to give up just like that.
But do u ever look back before giving up,
see how long did u went through something.
Then, maybe u won't want to give up and stop doing something.
Right???
Something we give up,
but we can still try again.
Chances are in our hands.
We are the one who decide it.
So make a clever decision,
or else u might be regret it after this.
Try again is it simply,
not really,
but it is also not hard,
just few step then u can.
Do u think it is too late to have a new friend???
Too late to be close with ur family???
Or too late to say sorry to someone who hurt before???
Too late to catch fish.
That might be what comes to Peter's mind when Jesus want him to try again.
All the day long and night,
they catch nothing.
Peter want to give up also just like what happen to us sometime.
Might that time, Peter was think of going back to sleep and rest.
But Jesus called him to put down the fish net.
What did he do???
Peter obey Jesus and done what is tell by Jesus.
Put the fish net into the sea and after that,
they catch a large number of fish until the boat can sustain the weight.
They call their other boat partner to help them.
Their boat was going to sink.
Now, they got many fish.
Just simply think, if Peter didn't obey Jesus could he catch fish.
Then, Jesus called Peter to follow him,
and Jesus will let him become Fisher of Man.
Lets look back to urself,
is there anytime when ur heart want to try again,
but u didn't.
Imagine urself in this situation,
u have a fight with ur most best friend just because of a small matter.
Ur precious friendship is broken just because u don't want to ask for forgiveness or to forgive.
Did u think it is worth???
Try again to fix this relationship,
u might be more happy.
It is not easy but also not hard.
Just give a try,
who knows the result would be different from what u imagine???
far good than what u think.
Remember it won't be too late for everything.
Have faith even though it is hard just like Peter.
I learned it from the book "Next Door Savior".
One of Max Lucado's book.
Please also refer to bible if u have,
Luke 5 : 1-11
