Do you see yourself as more of a cause or an effect?
Let me explain...
A lot of people see themselves as merely an effect of what happens to them in life... products of their environment... or victims.
So for them, life is basically about reacting to -- and maybe just trying to survive -- whatever is going on around them.
But God has made you more than an effect.
He's made you a cause!
He's created you as a responsible person, designed to bring something good to the world.
This truth goes back to the original dominion mandate when God created mankind in His image to rule and cultivate the world for him...
... and it continues today through Jesus Christ, who has recreated us to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
... The only question is what are you going to cause today.
The answer comes as you trust and obey Him with the gifts He's given you in the opportunities He puts before you.
'You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain..." (Jn.15:16).
