What’s the difference between a vision and a cause? The terrorist on September 11, 2001, had a cause not just a vision, albeit an unjust cause. Abraham Lincoln exemplified legendary leadership during a critical time in America’s history because he had a cause. He said, “The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.”

• A vision creates enthusiasm, but a cause produces power.
• A vision can exist for you, but you exist for the cause.
• A vision can help to obtain success, but a cause helps to sustain success.
• A vision has followers - a cause has crusaders.

Every church, home, business and individual life must have more than just a vision; they must have a vision attached to a just cause. The cause of the poor, the cause of the fatherless, the cause of the defenseless, the cause of the hurting and sick, the unconverted, the cause of the _______________ (you fill in the blank).

Live the Cause!  May your upcoming week be blessed in abundance!  Soft Spirited Lady
