The Glue
"The glue that binds partners together is their mutual passion for the cause. When the cause is central, the natures of one's title or tasks loses its meaning. It's all about doing what God has called you to do and letting Him take care of the results while you enjoy the ride. If you can envision your cause as a relay race, you expect to hand off the baton to others who will complete legs of the journey that you cannot or should not run. That greatly benefits the cause: after all, its the team, not an individual member of the team, that wins. Ultimate influence is not achieved by starting strong, but by finishing strong. You'll need good partners to help you do this." - The cause within you by Matthew Barnett
I am beyond thankful and grateful to be surrounded by such amazing partners who are in pursuit of God and His purposes.
