Responsibility...what's that?

Sometimes when I'm given a responsibility I think, "Are you serious? You want ME to be in charge of that? You want ME to do that?" Sure, a bit of boasting may come along (sinful as it may be), but I can't help but feel flattered when someone gives me a responsibility. That person sees something in me that I may not see in myself...and for that, they bring out a part of me that continues to grow.

Responsibility comes in many different sizes...for some it's your children, for others it's applying to college, for others it's taking care of someone when they're sick...for me today...my responsibility is to teach the kindergartners how to tell time. You may sit there and laugh, but I view this as a responsibility. What I tell them could either help them or hinder them from being able to tell time correctly...who knows.

We, as Christians, have a huge responsibility...to share the love of God with others...with everyone...with our friends, with strangers, with the people/kids that we work with...I try to not take that lightly, though sometimes I slip...Why is it that I take the responsibility of teaching five year olds how to tell time seriously...but when it comes to my friends/family's lives and where they will spend eternity...I don't do nearly as much as I should do.

I have that responsibility...and I need to live up to it.
Challenge yourself to think about what you are responsible for.
