I like that Paul builds on yesterday's idea of one another with the next line that follows about effort. A Disciple-Maker’s community takes effort. It really does. Far enough down the road it will take big efforts like forgiveness, reconciliation, confrontation, mercy, and loving again. Early on it still takes effort, like finding someone new at your church and saying, “Hi, I haven’t met you before!” or a follow-up such as “Tell me more about you.” It takes effort in your group to value the extra prayerfulness and time it takes to text, talk, or hang out outside of a regular schedule. It takes effort to hold the heart of a Disciple-Maker you're paired with like it's your own.
Again, is a meaningful Disciple-Maker community something you discover and receive, or commit to and craft? It’s both. So gather a Disciple-Maker’s vision for your part in putting your effort into the latter.
It's certainly not a bigger and better effort on your part that God's plan for community is dependent on, but see if he'll show you today where some added effort on your part will make the Disciple-Make community what it will be.

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.
