One day Jesus taught from Peter's boat on the Sea of Galilee. Afterward He told Peter to take the boat to deep water and let out the nets to catch fish. Peter explained that he and others had been fishing all night without catching anything, but he said he would do as Jesus commanded.
Peter and his brother Andrew caught so many fish that their net began to break. James and John came in another boat to help. The fishermen were all amazed. Jesus called Peter and Andrew to follow Him and become "fishers of men."(Matthew 4:19); (Luke 5:10) He also called James and John. The part I love about this story is that they all left their boats and nets and follow Jesus.
President Ezra Taft Benson taught, "Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can" This is what happens to Peter and his fellow fishermen, Jesus helped them realize that they could do more than catch fish.
Con amor,
Vero
