Are You Holding Yourself Accountable For Someone Else's Response?

Are you thinking it is about you?  What they did and how they responded.  Do you think their response was based on what you said or what you did?   That could be true ....   But always keep in mind ... our response always has something to do with what is going on inside us.    What someone does or what someone says may trigger a response ... but that response is still primarily dependent on what is going on in us ... how we feel and what has happened prior to that time.  

We have to stop blaming ourselves totally for other peoples responses.   We have to understand that a persons response is relative to their mood.   If they are happy ... they will respond differently than they would if they are stressed.    This is why it is so important that we say what we say in love and pray that the person receiving it receives it in the manner in which it was spoken.   

Do what you can to make sure you say what God says and say it the way God would have you to say it.   Do what you can to reflect love and to speak the truth in love. Always remember you are a vessel that God is using to pour into someone elses life.   If you pour out love .... you are not accountable for their response.    However, if you pour out anything other than God's love ... God does hold you accountable.
