Genesis 9:1-5 (NIV)
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. 4 "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.

In a similar way, I think God will demand an accounting for everything we do while we are on this earth temporarily. Too often, we forget that everything we have and do was given and endorsed to us by God on a loan basis. Even the loving people around us, the money we earn, the food we eat etc., were all given to us by Him to take care of on behalf of Him.
