Lessons to Think About

Friday, Oct. 19, 2007

The following lesson was prepared by Rolly Tolentino.

"...come and follow me." - Mark 10:21

Jesus invites us to come and follow Him, regardless of our circumstances in life. I was 18 years old when he called me to follow and know Him personally. I was involved with drugs, lying, cheating and stealing. I thought that I was having fun at that time and enjoying my life to the fullest, but I was so wrong. I did not realize that I was committing sin and that I was gradually turning my life away from God. I got tired running and finally on Aug 26, 1981 I made a decision to call God to please help me. He asked me not only to walk in His footsteps, but to follow His way of life so that I can be identified with Him. My new lifestyle and service will give witness to His abiding presence, perfect love and mercy. I reach out with joy to take hold of His hand so that I may walk more willingly in His ways.
