When Jesus tells her to take responsibility for her actions, her life changes. C is all of us. God does his part, but our response to his care is ultimately up to us. We have to take responsibility for our lives. We can't expect God to suddenly unite himself to us at the end of our lives if we have pushed him aside throughout our lives.
Life is a journey.
There is joy and there is turmoil. There are continual crises. There are continual celebrations. There's the drudgery of everyday chores and the joy of completing our chores with and for the ones we love. All of life has meaning to the extent that we walk with the Lord.
