Does God Hold You Responsible for Your Skills and Talents?

Creativity is not just coming up with ideas but doing what it takes to be sure an idea is worthy of bringing to fruition. Creativity recognizes that while pursuing an idea, something totally different could be discovered that is more worthwhile than the original goal.

You do not have to be a scientist to be creative. Parenting demands creativity, for it’s a continuous learning process. Parents are accountable to God and the entire social order for teaching and enforcing boundaries so children know what’s acceptable.   

Creativity leads to opportunity and responsibility.

God hold us accountable, as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus demonstrates. Lazarus suffered from a disease that prevented him from working, yet each day he subjected himself to the generosity of others. Present and future rewards are in store for those whose faith and trust in God reflect their determination to be accountable.

And let us consider how we can spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

How Can Compatibility and Submission Co-exist?

The majority of couples who pledge their lives to each other believe they share similar plans and hope for the future. They also share a mutual need to protect their relationship against any endangerment. Mutuality and compatibility bind together to create safety and security.

Compatibility paves the way for the existence of mutual submission that is not offensive or threatening. The greater the degree of mutual trust and respect, the more extensive is the presence of compatibility, which may mean that less conflict will tend to dominate the relationship.

Nurturing compatibility must always be at the forefront of every committed relationship. Even if it appears that compatibility is nonexistent or has become smothered by huge differences, hope for rekindling the relationship is possible. Putting the Lord God first in your life and believing restoration is possible are necessities. Ask God for stamina to endure.

For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will you can receive what he has promised.
