John 21
Remember your calling.
Stick to your calling.

Peter was called to be fisher of men, but he went back fishing.
Jesus had to remind them of the calling, to be fisher of men.

9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

Jesus don't need the fish that Peter fished. He had the breakfast prepared. He showed them again He would be with them.

v19 And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”
Stick to your calling and be faithful to it.

Of course the first is to know your calling, the purpose God has for you.
He may have called this family to places, to rural area to reach out to the orphans, but regardless, our call is to bring up godly children that will follow Jesus.

The world has its standard. In John 21 is about the number of fish that they can caught in one night. It will be a failure to return empty handed. But Jesus don't need the fish.

So it is whether we stick to God standard and His calling, giving up the standards of this world and stick to the calling God has for us.

See how Jesus provide the fish for breakfast, even though Jesus helped Peter to haul in a large net of fish.

What do you want? Stick to your call.
