Mostly in my participation of groups in church or work or here in giving table , I am responsive , quick to answer. I think I am pretty much active in resoponse .
In todays reading thinking about the word responsibility, I now again choose to be responsive and choose to stand in right motive and attitudes. All of these coming from my desire to be joyfully glorify God in everything. ^^.

The things that are not alive can't be responsive.

I heard that God responds well to a responsive and humble heart which is the opposite of hard heart.
I'd like to be the one with a responsive heart .

Wow! Responsibility means response+ability!!!
That's right! Now I need to responsibility as three children mom.
What is required of me now is how to be responsive in the same time to the different needs of three children.

I think of myself as a responsive human being, and i even find it difficult to have personal relationships with those who are not quite responsive!
And i think it is same with God!
I am actually trying to actively listen to God's words. The antenna is now focused in you, lord.
So now is your turn to speak to me lord, i will be very responsive to you! 😉

You get to be super responsive to who you specially care, and the attitude can sometimes only the be the way showing your love.

Dear Salt, thank you so much for choosing to share your writing. Yes, you are right! It's our naturl instinct to be super responsive to people who we deeply care. Sometimes, though, I find it next to impossible to response with a glad heart especially when I'm down..T.T

Very impressive!
Responsibility is not our task that has due dates; often times I hassle my kids to be responsible for the given chores. So amazing to think the way around taht I chose to be responsive for the task. How much do I responsive to God’s calling?

Dear Joy, thank you so much for choosing to share your writing with us. Reading your writing makes me think. :)
How much times do we really choose to be responsive to God's calling? Oh Lord. Have mercy on me.

From the Book
Our desire to feel alive can be twisted and corrupt, a feeling that can’t be trusted. We arrive here upside down, clench-fisted, screaming for relief and warmth and safety, and we’re not too picky about how we get it. What do we know of being alive? The heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked. Isn’t it?
For so long I was too afraid of my own mixed motives and false experiences of life to even consider waking up to my truest, most intimate desires. It felt wrong to want to uncover desire. But darkness and deceit is not all there is to the heart of a man or a woman. If we continue to live as though our hearts are desperately wicked, we have tragically misunderstood the work of Christ.
When God told Israel through the prophet Ezekiel he was planning to replace their heart of stone with a heart of flesh, he had us in mind. “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, reponsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations” (Ezek. 36 : 26 - 27).

Ashley’s Note
“Responsibility”
I remember Professor Kang, the head of the Department of Social Welfare at the time, wrote this word on a whiteboard. He asked us if anyone knew the definition of this word. We all knew it was a rhetorical question so none of us didn’t dare to answer him. After few seconds, he wrote another words on the board.
“Responsibility = Response + ability”
His definition was a shock. Before hearing, I had somehow always thought of responsibility as a passive word. You are responsible to do something because you are given the task; however, Professor Kang’s definition made me think the other way around. You do something because you choose to be responsive to the certain task. Attitude. Motives. Life-changing choice.
Nehemiah chose to be responsive to his cracked heart and told the King what he wanted.
Esther chose to be responsive to her people’s miserable mourning and went to the king by saying “if I perish, I perish.”
When they chose to be responsive to deep desires aroused from their wounds, God lit the fire. The walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt. The Jews were set free from evil plot of Haman. The question is not about having enough ability for the task, but about having a willingness to be responsive. Oh Lord. Take out my stony, stubborn heart and give me a tender, reponsive heart.
