Responsibility

If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”        

–  Admiral Rickover

God has given to every one of His children an area of responsibility. We must know the boundaries, but inside the boundaries the burden is ours alone.

Romans 12:6-8 

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. 

From here to the end of the line, let’s be faithful to the lot given to us.

Think about it.
