Fuzzy Accountability

I have had some conversations as of late in regards to "Loving others without agend" and walking in the Freedom that Jesus gives us . . . and allowing others to do the same.
Inevitably the person I am talking to asks:
"But what about Accountability???"
As in: " . . . if we don't "keep" someone "on track" (I.E. "Command & Control") then terrible things are going to happen . . . "
(The reality being that the only person I can really "control" is myself {and that's on a good day}. Influence is another subject . . .)

The last I checked, the only accounting a follower of Jesus has to do is that to Papa with what has been done with the life they have been given.

I am quite sure that discipline/accountability exists in the Kingdom, but I have a funny feeling that they have a totally different paradigm . . . a totally different "mode of being".

Discipline/Accountability in the Kingdom is based on & flows from a deep Love that is relational to the core; It is always available and never abandons (but does let go at times).

In fact, any real authority or influence I have with another person is that which they give to me.
(Barring any type of domineering, "command & control" or "Lording it over" dysfunction).
Reflect upon this: Think about the people that Papa has put in your life; the ones who really influenced you and/or impacted you in a positive way in regards to Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit and the Kingdom. What was it that opened that door of influence, leadership or authority???

Genuine Relationship. And that cannot be forced, coerced or manipulated (else it will mutate and eventually die . . .)

Of course, we will make mistakes and get things messed-up. But Jesus doesn't leave us there when that happens. He beckons us "Arise!", woo's us to follow and teaches us His way of leading.
