Rights VS Responsibilities!
Wednesday, April 08, 2009
We are responsible to God to become what God has made it possible for us to become.Political groups and social organizations like to talk about the "rights" of their members. They want the full entitlement to the benefits that are rightfully theirs. Rights are all about "me, me, me."
That is not the attitude God wants us to have. He wants us to forget about our rights and focus on our responsibilities. He wants us fully engaged in helping others. Responbilities are all about "you, you, you."
God wouldn't be a very popular politician in our society. Most people want to be served and enjoy their priviledges. God calls us to be submissive and put the interests of others above our own. It is possible only if God can change our attitude. Are we willing to let Him?
