“As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he got up and followed him.” — Matthew 9:9 📖

With two simple words—"Follow me"—Jesus invited Matthew into a new way of living, a new purpose, and a new relationship with God and others.

We hear that invitation, as well. Christ meets us where we are and calls us forward with grace, hope, and possibility.

💭 Where might Jesus be inviting you to follow him more closely in this season of your life?
