We can become anybody.....

I read this in my morning devotional today and wanted to share.  I think personal responsibility is getting rare in this world.


"We can become anybody..... nothing forces us to remain what we are."

How often during the day do we take a moment of quiet and assess our actions, taking measure of how close we've come to attaining the standard of behavior we would prefer from ourselves? And if we didn't live up to this standard?  It's easy to blame others for how we responded to different circumstances; however, we are learning that full responsibility for who we are and how we act rests at our doorstep.


We may be thrilled when we first realize the power and breadth of our personal responsibility, or we may be fearful.  No matter how hesitant we are initially, in time we can grow into the freedom God has given us and become grateful that we're in charge of our own development.


God offers all of us guidance for a life of purpose that can bring us comfort and joy.


TODAY I will accept God's guidance as I take on the exciting challenge of being in charge of my attitudes and behavior.
