About believing deep inside other people are somehow responsible for you�

1 John 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. (NIV)

Each of us must learn to be responsible for ourselves. We must see how we make our own way in life and the way we make is totally our own doing. In this regard, accidents, crime, war, natural disasters, the behavior of others, health issues, and other uncontrollable events happen to us. However, we must all come to hold ourselves totally responsible for how we respond to what life brings at us. In your belief system, no one should be responsible for you, except you. As much as some persons want to believe God is responsible for them, God does not live anyone's life. God wants you to live your life in a free, independent, and worshipful manner. Believing deep inside others are somehow responsible for your life or for you diminishes and demeans God's plan and destiny for you. In God's eyes, you are equipped to do His will on your own without someone else living your life for you.
