The power of a committed and focused group can be inspiring. A recent professional development opportunity allowed me to be a participant in and facilitator of a learning community. This community of educators engaged in learning that will have a greater impact on students in our state than any individual could have hoped to have on their own. The work, which required dedication and commitment, was only possible through a supportive, collaborative, and encouraging network of colleagues bringing different perspectives together for one unified goal.
This approach of supporting and encouraging each other should also be evident in our church communities. When we are working for God and building up His Kingdom, we need to be supportive, collaborative, and building each other up! By working together, we can accomplish more than any one of us working on our own. This process requires patience as we all approach our work from different perspectives, but with one goal - the goal of spreading the Good News of God's love and salvation.
Work together with the community of believers to accomplish more together than you can alone!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and salvation. Thank You for giving me a community of believers that I can work with to spread Your Good News to those around me. Help the impact of Your community be greater than myself and the other individual members of the community. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
