Life is made up of responsibilities, and growth is an increase in responsibility.
The worth of a man is in the capacity to take responsibility, and the strength of a man is defined by the problems he can solve.
Nobody is created by God to be weak; God has given everyone the strength that communes with him/her.
The responsibility a man sees and runs away from is one of the problems such a person can solve if he is ready to take up the responsibility.
I just realized this as I was growing: No man is growing without responsibility and no man is outstanding without solving a problem.
The first responsibility of a man is to learn how to take care of himself, but so many people do not know how to do this.
A lot of people have left the world untimely as a result of ignoring this responsibility.
Not because they didn't want to take the responsibility, but because their home training limited them from knowing that part of the responsibility.
The greatest problem of man has always been to know his way ahead of time. And this is not possible unless such a person key into the mind of God, who knows all about Man.
When Man realized his nakedness after the fall, he tried to take care of that to get out of the mess, but his knowledge was limited to what he could do to do that.
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. -Gen.3.21.
God has always been responsible for showing man how to take care of himself and not just his physical self, but his entire self- spirit, soul, and body.
The love God required to see in Man is that He always believes in His (God) ability/capacity to take good care of himself.
The love for God is a matter of trusting in Him and building confidence in His power.
The second responsibility is thus, màn ought to learn to take care of another person.
Anyone selfish enough to understand this part of his responsibility is denying themselves the help he/she need in times of need.
The help of a man is not in himself but in another, that's why it was pleasing to God in the genesis of life to send man help in what is from him (a woman).
Everything in the world has what looks like itself- this portrays that the survival and the continuation of everything is in another.
The family, which is the unit of life, is a very important picture that can help understand this pàrt of responsibility better.
The summary of this piece is this:
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. --Matt.22.37 & 39
I have been absent from Hive, not because I wanted to, but because the responsibility of life that comes with growth seeks my attention the most, and I had to give it the attention it needed to be able to focus on other things of relevance to Hive later on.
My Digital tools were not in good working condition, and I plan to put them in good working condition, which has been accomplished.
Am happy to see you again in this other world.
