I Don't look Like What I Been Through_Accepting Responsibility

One of the toughest things we often times have to do in life is to pick ourselves up when someone else knocks us down. I mean, it's not my fault why should I have to do it. Well the simple answer is because the other person doesn't care to do it. But a more real and honest answer is, because it is your responsibility. Not your fault, but your responsibility. And I know that may not seem fair, but you would rather have unfair and be up, than stay down waiting for what is fair. Many times in life things will be unfair, but we can't wait for fair before we decide to trust God and move forward with our lives. It may not be our fault, and often it won't be, but it is still our responsibility to move forward in and toward all that God has called us to do. When we sit frustrated seeking revenge, retribution or even just sitting sulking we are missing valuable time to be improving and moving forward in God and with our lives. So, accept responsibility, not for what someone else did, but for what you can do to move forward as directed by God.
