I am not me...

What I mean is this. I am not self-made. I am not simply the product of my own efforts, my own abilities. As a matter of fact, I think God uses very little of me to make me. 

He uses you.

That is why "we" is much more than "me." And that is why community is so important, even if our community is spread out across the map. 

"We" pray together, fast together, share together, laugh and cry together. "I" have to do those things alone, so I often just don't do them at all.

Have you ever been alone in your home for a few days? Do you prepare a full meal for your dinner, set the table, make sure that you have bright colors on your plate for a proper presentation? Or do you grab a bowl of Cap'n Crunch and eat it in front of the TV? Same thing. If it is just "me," my walk with Jesus is more of a wobble--a slow limp at best. But when I have "we" pacing "me" I can go a lot faster and a lot farther. 

That is the importance of "we."
