Again the Kingdom of God is like a dragnet cast into the sea, gathering fish of every kind;
Matthew 13:47

Perfect verse for the fishing addict! A dragnet isn't very discriminating, it snatches up everything in it's path, just as the Gospel discriminates against no one. But like the fisherman, God will sort his catch and toss the "bad" fish back.

I must also cast my net wide! When I'm fishing I can't tell my bait to only catch a certain fish, it's down there for any kind to take (accept). God will judge everything I catch using His Gospel as my net and seperate the good from the bad at the sorting table.

Lord, all need to hear your word, let me be your dragnet, spread wide to catch all.
