“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them. “We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” he told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish. The disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer clothing around him (for he had taken it off) and plunged into the sea [and swam ashore].”
John 21:3, 6-7 CSB
Nothing was more important to Peter than being near Jesus. He didn’t finish the task, or wait till a convenient time… he immediately went to Jesus. God, I want to have the same sense of urgency to be near You!
