With the past several days focusing on your personal ties to Jesus, you might be thinking, "I've got too far to go as a Disciple to even think about becoming a Disciple-Maker!" You might be loaded up with hurts on the home front. You might be struggling to find peace of mind let alone peace for your soul. You might love your job but hate the people you work with. Maybe you believe in Jesus but can’t figure out how to get yourself to act like Jesus no matter how hard you try. You want to look to heaven, but maybe you are weighed down by an overly hurried and worried pace here on earth. So is that it? Are we done for as Disciple-Makers until our Discipleship catches up?
We're going to pull on a simple agrarian picture Jesus gives today, that fruit comes from staying connected. Jesus is not looking for people who perfect their own righteousness or polish their witness to get the job done. All he's looking for is someone who is relentlessly passionate about connecting with him. It’s not more effort. It’s more connection. Enter your prayer time today simply to connect with Jesus for yourself. Hold that connection deeply. Allow it to nourish life; nourish Discipleship and Disciple-Making as the fruit it is. This is a vision of where we return whenever lack of growth overwhelms and overburdens the soul.

A Disciple-Maker life takes Disciple-Maker Vision. My growth, my Jesus, my discipleship has its place center stage, but it's not the only thing on the stage. No theater runs with a cast of individuals buried in their own script, waiting for their own queues. It takes cast members that see everyone else's part, see the props and pieces to hold, see the overall plot and the scenes that build it, see the audience whom all this is for, and see the director from whom all things come. It's the same with Jesus in the great dramatic unfolding of his kingdom come and his gospel for all. You probably started with fixating on your part, which is normal and expected. The time comes when you see the rest. Every Disciple is to become a Disciple-Maker. These next forty days are for shifting your Vision to that of a Disciple-Maker. More than nuggets of wisdom, this devotional aims to set you up with an open-ended dialog with Jesus. Be ready to sit in scripture and prayer long enough for something new to be formed with him.
