Are we or are we not responsible people? If tasks were given to you, are you willing to take time to learn and understand your responsibilities? Or are you just doing it for the sake of just doing it? 

People nowadays are getting more and more responsible, unlike those of other generations. With different distractions and things such as DoTA, iPhones, PSPs, Games, etc, popping out in different corners of the world, many people forget what they should really do. Most are overwhelmed by the blessings God has given them, that they enjoyed life to the fullest, but forgot WHO gave them their blessings in the first place.

According to the bible, if we read John10:11-12,  “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.“

If we read the verse above, it talks about responsiblity and how people do and what happens when they become irresponsible. These are the things that WE SHOULD NOT DO.

1. Abandon

2. Run Away

Abandon. REmember, Jesus would never give us trials and tasks that we COULD NOT overcome. Always remember that. So there will be no reason for any of us to Abandon our responsibilities that God put in our care. If we abandon the things that God handled to us, the enemy would attack and scatter all that we have worked for. Everything would be useless and at the end of the day, it would not be giving glory to God. 

Run Away. This is the same as "abandon”, but with a lot deeper meaning (for me). Running away is like turning your back to God and fleeing from redemption as far as you can. May people nowadays, when they give up, they run away from God, and most of them, turn their faces to sin, making them sinners again and building again a wall to keep yourself out from God. DO YOU WANT THAT?

NO! We dont want that. So what should we do? We shoul be RESPONSIBLE!! Even if it is not our tasks that we should do, JUST TO IT. God trusted us with responsibilities and tasks that HE KNOWS WE CAN HANDLE. Alright? Never ever give up, abandon and run away. There is always comfort in God, for He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.“. There is no reason for us to give up.. Go on and lift your soul to serve God.

Responsibility is a very very broad word, but if we understand it clearly, we will practice it. But what reference would we be needing to further understand this? Answer? BIBLE. Read it.
