Who Do You Blame? ~ Closing Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader, 

I have watched a business destroy itself over blaming.  It had issues and kept blaming circumstances and its customers.  The leadership hired me to evaluate their loss of business.  I took three months to interview employees, observe, and learn.  It was their culture to blame others for even the smallest failure.  No one took responsibility for their errors, actions, or woes.  When I presented my findings, the CEO blamed the data, the employees, and the circumstances. They shuttered the company six months later.  The CEO and I are still good friends.  He still faults anything but blaming for the loss. 

It is too easy to lay blame.  It is difficult to take responsibility until it becomes a habit.  Blaming others is not loving them.  Blaming circumstances is denying the sovereignty of the Father as all circumstances are under his control.  Blaming the weather is simply practicing blame.  We may have to adjust to changes beyond our control but they do not cause our failures. 

We cheat, lie, and test what is right because it is easier.  We fail because we do not accept our part in greater failures.  Jesus’ best friend John wrote, “If we say we do no wrong, we lie and the truth is not in us.”  If, however, we accept responsibility we are starting from a point of honesty and we are following Christ.  Jesus said that he is the TRUTH and we desperately need him in us.  

There are plenty of well-meaning folks who will offer to fault other things for our woes.  Instead, we must see where we are and seek grace and mercy to improve.  When others blame us, we must honestly embrace our failures and let the Father deal with where we are blameless.  Our duty is to love others no matter how they view us. 

The daily choice is to follow Christ in truth.  It is to love the Father that we are bound.  It is not possible to blame others and do this.  Blame starts with Adam blaming Eve for his disobedience.  We have been gaming at blame ever since.  We have been given the grace and mercy to rise above it, Dear Reader.  The choice is ours every time.  There is no one else to blame if we do not. 

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Every human story is part of the great story that leads to the Father getting everything back to Good.

The best way to win the blame game is to choose not to play.
