This week will put the focus on you; you and a vision of what you have personally with Jesus as a Disciple-Maker. You can't give what you haven't received. You can't take somebody somewhere that you're not going. You wouldn't want to anyway! You need a vision for what you already are, already have, and where you already have been. You may already know it, but it pays to revisit this well.
Open a conversation with Jesus today to get in touch with what your day-to-day experiences are telling you about what's most important. Don't sift through all your big life lessons, just look for what the now-lessons are saying about where your passions and priorities lay on a daily basis. Is Jesus another thing or a first thing on your priorities? Do your passions tag him as a good thing, the best thing, or an only thing?
Paul has an interesting way of explaining to the Church of Colosse his vision of passion and priorities. He puts it into life and death terms. Take in his wording for how it would shape your vision for passion, priorities, and all the regular stuff in our everyday life around us.

About this Plan
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.
