Intentional Disciples Vs Followers

Last Friday, we had NCC cell group and the topic was about Intentional Disciples.
As Catholic, we are expected to be active and intentional disciples instead of passive disciples.
Passive disciples means only go to church as requested and obliged by the law of the church. However in day to day basis, they don't build personal relationship with God.

On the other hand, intentional disciples means we build personal relationship with God. We encounter and experience His love in daily basis.

In the beginning, disciples lived and stayed with their master/guru.
After they are ready, they will be sent to evangelise to others as apostles.
However, in this modern day, we may have no opportunity to live physically with our master.
What we could do is praying and listening to His words.

Disciples stay with the master in bad and good times because they know that there's a hope in the future which is eternal life even when things are not going according to their expectation.

On the other hand, followers are different. They only follow the master / leader when it suits their expectation. When things going opposite, they will unfollow and look for other master.
Their foundation is not strong enough because they don't encounter God.
It's not that God doesn't care about them but they fail to see Him in little things in their life as well as people they meet.
