Taking Responsibility

Romans 14:12 says ” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.”  In Taking Responsibility, The Quite Place, Nancy shares how she didn’t get along with her mom as she was growing up.  Do any of us?  Her dad’s nugut of truth is 1) you must honor your mother and give her due repect-period-regardless of what she does; and 2) you are not responsible for any what she does- you are only reponsible for how you respond to her.  The issue is are my responses right or wrong.  Nothing anyone might do justifies a sinful reaction on my part.  We are only accountalbe for our own attitudes and responses. With a wise, humble spirit and a “soft answer,” you can overcome evil with good.
