The Blame Game

 

The Blame Game

“The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave of the tree, and I ate.” Genesis 3:15. Everyone who has read the Bible knows about that dreaded first sin where Adam ate of the fruit of the tree and blamed his wife. Then Eve turns around and blames the serpent. Did the blame stop there? No, we have been blaming each other from the beginning of time. How many times do struggles come our way and instead of looking to our self we look around for someone to blame? There are so many things that can go awry in our lives and unless we seek to know the cause of it, within our own sphere of being, we will become miserable and make everyone around us miserable. Have we not figured out that what problems arise in our lives are usually brought about by our own doings? Blaming others does not solve our problems, it only escalates into more problems. In 2 Corinthians 13:5 it says to: “Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves. We must look deep into our life on a daily basis. We must recognize our faults, admit our faults and carry them to God. Only He can help us overcome our faults. Blaming others does not ease our pain, cover our sins, or give us rest. Look to God for guidance and direction, forgive those around you and ask for forgiveness for those whom you have blamed. Then read I Corinthians 13:4-8 “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, endures all things, Love never fails.”
