BEING responsible involves being dependable, honest, and courageous. It also requires knowledge, character, honesty, self-respect, and common sense. It means we care about ourselves and others and that we don't try to put blame on others when a mistake is made, especially if it is our mistake.

Consider our responsibilities:
* I am responsible for me (2 Corinthians 13:5; James 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:22).
* I am responsible for my good name (Proverbs 22:1).
* I am responsible for my thoughts (Proverbs 23:7; Philippians 2:3; 4:8).
* I am responsible to work (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
* I am responsible to be happy (Philippians 4:11).
* I am responsible to trust God (Matthew 7:21).

Who is responsible for me spiritually? I am. Yes, me!

The ability to accept responsibility
is the measure of the man.
