Be a Man - Take Responsibility for Your Actions

We all tell white lies to others and, even worse, to ourselves. We do something wrong and instead of acknowledging it, learning from it, and moving on, we lie, saying it was due to circumstances outside ourselves.

"Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load." Gal. 6:4-5 NIV(r)

Genesis 3:12 NIV(r), "The man said, 'The woman you put here with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.'" As long as there has been a record of man, humans have chosen to blame someone else for their wrongdoings.

For you and me, it does not have to be that way. We can change and take responsibilities for our own actions.
