From Just Like Jesus by Max Lucado:
"It's a wonderful day indeed when we stop working for God and begin working with God. (Go ahead, read that sentence again.) For years I viewed God as a compassionate CEO and my role as a loyal sales representative. He had his office, and I had my territory. I could contact him as much as I wanted. He was always a phone or fax away. He encouraged me, rallied behind me, and supported me, but he didn't go with me. At least I didn't think he did. The I read 2 Corinthians 6:1: "We are workers together with God."
Workers with God? Co-laborers? God and I work together? Imagine the paradigm shift this truth creates. Rather than report to God, we work with God. Rather than check in with him and then leave, we check in with him and then follow. We are always in the presence of God. We never leave the church. There is never a nonsacred moment. His presence never diminishes. Our awareness of his presence may falter, but the reality of his presence never changes."
