Responsibility
----------------------------What is responsibility?
----------------------------
Being a filial son to Mom and Dad?
Making sure your little brother/sister is alright while you're folks are out for anniversary?
Being a good friend to those around us? Fulfilling the promises we made to the best we can?
Shepherding our sheep regularly? Meeting our sheep's physical/emotional/ spiritual needs?
Ensuring to keep our body healthy by exercising?
Making sure we do quiet time regularly?
Or have we ever thought responsibility as an action rather than a task?
RED : We ACT responsibly at home to our parents.
GREEN : We ACT responsibly towards our sheep, investing in lives, not objects.
BLUE : We ACT responsibly to ourselves, securing the Temple of God.
If love had to be an action, it was because of the responsibility of love.
We are responsible to the ones/ things we love, therefore, we ACT upon love to fulfill those responsibilities we chose.
Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility. ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
