We do our own harm. We are our own worst enemy. We take risks that we know can cause us lasting harm, lasting pain. Yet we act knowingly. We behave knowingly. We do knowingly. And in the end we pay, acting in a manner of great surprise; a dumbfoundness that only a superfied state of denial could manifest. We look around in wonderment. Looking for that someone else to blame, that someone or someones to receive our projectile of vile blame lased in laser-targeted contempt.
Then we move on looking for that next whatever to placate our "yuck" that lives inside of us surviving only on:
1- I did not mean it
2- It was not my fault
3- It was only one mistake
4- Things around me caused me to act in this way
5- It wasn't that bad, everyone else is just over reacting
6- Nobody is perfect
That is until that moment when ..... there is no one else to blame.
And then something quite original happens. We wake up. We own up. We pray up!
Romans 8:1 says that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because the Lord Jesus took all of the Father's condemnation on Himself on the cross.
So you don't have to project on someone else something God is waiting to forgive you for. Why give your forgiveness away? Own your rain and its rainbow.
