Circumstances & Responses
Responsibility = response-ability
Our responses to situations are the sources and causes of successes and failures in our lives. Your circumstances do not produce your person and identity. Your responses to your circumstances do.
When your responses are listed in Galatians 5:19-21, you will suffer costly failures, and so will the people who depend on you. When your responses are empowered by the list of Spiritual characteristics listed in Galatians 5:22-23, your character will unveil (manifest) the character of Jesus in the circumstances.
Whether your circumstances are dangers, opportunities, confusion or pointless, your response to them can create life by inviting the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus to make you responsible in them.
Be awesome.
