Responsibility takes a very high level of importance for me...I like how Dave described it, "Able to respond." Wow, that's good. When we respond appropriately we then have more freedoms. We can be trusted. Sometimes we have to reign in ourselves until we are able to discipline ourselves in a certain area...this is not about rules, but again, not all things are the very best for us. Not all things bring us to our highest goals. Our divine destiny...
Are we living out of our identity or are we living to prove our identity? We don't have anything to prove. Our Father God loves us through and through! Who cares what other's think? Why do we care so much anyway? I have struggled with comparing myself for so long...someone prettier, more popular, richer, more stylish, more of whatever I think I do not have...why do I do this to myself? Jesus, I need you to show me more of who you are- love, and who I am- loved! We find our identity in Christ alone. We don't need to be addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, food, popularity, etcetera, we need the divine addiction. The God-filled obsession! When we believe what we read in God's love letter to us- our emancipation proclamation, we can be all that God intended for us without pride or arrogance, a right concept of ourselves, loved no matter what by the most important person around...how much better can it get?
