When we look at one of the definitions of responsibility it gives the following. The care of or control over a person. For example the mother is responsible for the young children that are in her house. Another way of looking at this is the son needs to watch over the needs of his father, because the father needs to be taken care of in a certain way. In this circle of responsibilities it’s about taking on the responsibility of caring for someone.
We have people who are independent and others that depend on others for one reason or the other. Like stated before a child will depend on a father, mother, aunt, uncle and others to take care of him. The family members are responsible for the welfare of the child. This isn’t control over someone, but more of caring for the child’s well-being. Moreover it is the caring for people who could be physically challenged in any area of their lives. This applies from young to old.
Some people need the care so who will be responsible for them. That is why our topic today is this Within our circle of responsibilities comes the care of others who might not be able to care for themselves in any aspect of life.
We know the bible scriptures speak about helping each other. Growing people in their faith walk. Praying for one another. Yes it is the truth, we take on responsibilities to help care for our loved ones. We make sure each day they have what they need to live for each day such as food, shelter and clothes. The important part of caring for others is making sure they know that they are loved.
Some people use their responsibility for caring for others not as love but a feeling of obligation. Meaning what they put into being responsible for a person’s care is not in their best interest. They are just doing it because they have been asked.
The way we care or take responsibility for others will reflect on their well-being. Also it could affect those around. What is your responsibility when it comes to caring for others, young or old. Are we being responsible for the way the child does things and reacts to others. We see what’s happening but turn a blind eye. We still are held accountable for those children who don’t understand that in life we have consequences for our actions.
There are many more things we could say about our role in being responsible for the care of people within our circumstances young or old. I just wanted you to think about this. In your circle are you doing the best to make sure those who are depending on you, have your best interest at heart.
Again, caring for others comes in many avenues of life. It can range from young to old. People that are physically challenged. Could be an elderly person you need to care for and they only have you. How will you take that responsibility to care for them.
Finally the true word for today is some people have the responsibility of caring for others. As you care for a person will you see it as a burden or an opportunity to make sure they are well taken care of. By providing and doing what they need for their life. Our goal and aim of the ministry is to help others. Giving them hope by letting them know the power of God. Helping them to see the truth of God by our teaching or ministering the word over social media platforms.
