LOVE MADE US RESPONSIBLE
Gen 1:26-31; 2:5, 15, 2 Peter 1:3-4
While many people think love is doing everything for your spouse, children and some loved ones, we can see God who is the true representation of love giving us all we need to get things done instead of doing everything for us. He gave us all we will ever need but He did not spoil us to the point of being spoonfed for everything.
He has given us all things that pertains to life and godliness yet we still have to take responsibility to really appropriate and maximize what He has made available to us. God was not looking for a love object who would be a moron or a robot who is being programmed everywhere. God was and is still looking for responsible beings who can represent Him and showcase His true glory to their world.
The first declaration of blessings and command to man is Be Fruitful. Here God was saying that 'hey, see all that you need have been provided for and all you have to do now is to manage these resources aright and be creative enough to use them. Whatsoever you can ever need can be gotten from everything I have placed in your care. If you need a child use your sperm to fertilise the ovum; when you need a cloth, you can get from wool or animal skin; if you need a house you can get from sand, stones, gravel and water that I have provided. So be responsible enough to make life comfortable for yourself.'
Love did not raise spoilt brats as children, Love did not compel a boss to do all things for an employee who is lazy, Love does not make everything available for a disciple or menthe, Love has not commanded us to make people not accountable and responsible but for us to encourage their initiatives. Though Jesus said it is finished, It does not mean that we do not have work to do it only means that the end of His assignment is the beginning of ours.
Prayer: Father, thank you for not creating me a moron or a robot. Thank you for the spirit of counsel that helps me to take initiatives in situations around me and with resources around and within me. Help me understand the purpose of all that You have created for me and rightly appropriate them for use to the honor and glory of Thy Name, for the fulfilment of my destiny and also for the betterment of mankind. Amen!!
