Galatians 6:5

How can you explain this away so nonchalantly? A mother's lame explanation for child abuse makes us realize how easy and horrible it is to explain away our own responsibility.

Have we turned our yardsticks into swords? Ann Voskamp reminds women and their daughters about the dangers of comparison and how it belittles the work of God going on in each person we see.

Is there ever a time we are not responsible for these things? Even when we are away from our normal responsibilities, we are still responsible for these things!

Don't try to be someone else, God made you to be you for his purposes. Max Lucado reminds us that God didn't call us to be anyone else, but calls us to be the person whom he made for his purposes.
