Responsibilities or Opportunities?


Responsibility is a heavy word. It brings to mind pictures of a load or burden. And truly our responsibilities are heavy. We have our place to fill faithfully. The demands of our roles come thick and fast, and often we are bogged down under the weight of responsibility. We don't have what it takes, we complain.

Did you ever think of your responsibilities as God given privileges and opportunities? Try it. It makes such a difference. Consider the privilege of sharing life with your family, the opportunity of teaching and influencing others, the privilege of sharing Christ's love daily. It takes the drudgery out of serving and gives life a propelling power. ~Mary June Lapp
