Fishing....On The Other Side.

Weary so weary
     Working all night
         Dip to the depths
               But nothing in sight.
                Bone weary
            Heart sick....
       Dredge the deep..
Deep too, the losses
      Too anxious for sleep.
           Dark, dark the night
                 and weary the heart
        Futile with nets,
     The end of our pride.
            Nothing to satisfy
                   Nowhere to hide.

Then dawn streaks.
Heart seeks.
"Throw your nets on the other side.."
Who is The One on yonder shore?
"The other side!"
 This side, self seeking and longing..
The other side, mercy and belonging.

The Master speaks on yonder shore.
Always , always He goes before.
Seek Him out .. follow  His voice...

Look to the other side.
Eyes clear, voice sure.
"Always I am with you,
Care and provision make,
Guidance and strength,
For your own dear sake.
Come 
Put your nets on the other side,
From my abundance liberally take."

John 21:1-17
