Two words change the dynamics of any endeavor: “With You.”
Whenever I go fishing, and I say that I want to go “with someone,” then everything changes. I have to make sure they have the appropriate gear, needed supplies and work around their schedule. The experience changes whenever I add another person.
There are thousands of examples. I want to go for a walk versus I want to go for a walk with you. I want to play a game compared to I want to play a game with you. I want to read the Bible is a different job than I want to read the Bible with you. I want to serve the Lord is good, but I want to serve the Lord with you is an entirely different experience.
The Bible is full of passages that teach about our connection to “one another.” There are commands, instructions, encouragements, and challenges to live out our spiritual lives in community.
I am glad you are reading, learning, growing, serving, giving, and leading, but you need to add two words to each project for the whole experience God intended.
