Building a healthy relationship demands that each party is responsible. In a situation where a partner is not responsible, it can frustrate the one that is responsible. This is exactly the way we treat God a lot of time. Man is always discouraged by the devil not to be responsible towards God. Whenever we have needs, we always want God to be responsible towards us, but not us being responsible to God. This is always the bone of contention between man and God. To be responsible is to always carry out part of the relationship deal.
The word of
God says, this is how we can know love, because Jesus laid down His life for
us. Therefore, we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. To be
responsible is to continue to sacrificially take care of each other in
relationship. It means, meeting the needs of each other and not expecting one
person to meet all the needs. In some cases, one person will be saving his
resources for personal goal, while one person takes care of all things for the
family. This is what some people call marriage.
Friend,
whoever is not responsible is a parasite and a liability. Check your body
parts; they are all responsible to each other. Even if your spouse supplies all
the things in the house, don’t sit down like that. Make sure you have a great
role to play also. Create them if there are none, so that your relationship
does not break down because someone is no longer able. Housewife is not equal
to idleness. Be wise. Peace.
PRAYER:
Lord, give me the grace to take my place in my relationship.
“HE THAT
PUT IN NOTHING IN ANY RELATIONSHIP WILL NOT GET ANYTHING SERIOUS ON THE LONG
RUN”.
