How  can  I  keep  the  Great  Commission?  Is  this  too
        simple; live and love Jesus? That’s the Great Commission. He
        gave  us  that  chapter  to  show  us  the  Great  Commission.  He
        didn’t  say,  “Do  you  have  financial  support.”  He  didn’t  say,
        “Did you go to Bible School or to seminary?” He didn’t say,
        “Do you have a love for souls?” He didn’t ask, “Do you have
        the correct spiritual gifts?” He didn’t say, “Do you have a call
        to the ministry?” He didn’t say, “Do you have a board behind
        you  to  support  you?”  He  didn’t  say,  “Do  you  have  the
        commitment to be a missionary?” He just said, “Do you love
        Me?”
              If you are ever going to fulfil the Great Commission, just
        live and love Jesus. As you live, God will bring the fish to you.
        As you love Jesus, you will support and help the people of God.
        Live and love Jesus…
              Our heavenly Father, thank You for John 21. Oh, how
        we learn about how to fulfill the Great Commission! We know
        that we’re not adequate. We know that You are adequate. We
        know that You don’t need us but you want to use us. Teach us
        just to live as we wait to meet the risen Savior. Then, Lord,
        shed Your love abroad in our heart that we might evermore fall
        in love with Jesus. We ask in Jesus’ name.  Amen
