blame is to blame

Blame is the problem.

It is always destructive.

It has never brought healing to anyone or anything.

I notice that cursing did not precede blaming in Adam and Eve's fall.

I really think the coming of Jesus was to abolish the blame game.

I really think blaming kills any chance of restoration.

There has to be another way.

I no longer find any use for the categories of "good" and "bad."

All I can see these days is light and darkness, truth and lies.

God created everything, and it all had the quality of Good. It was Good. Think on that.

Satan came along and 'created' a label called "bad", and ever since then there has been this heaviness that seems to be tied to the essence of a thing. Like somehow it has literally "become" bad.

I do not see it this way any more. Things, actions, ideas, thoughts are not bad, in a qualitative way.

But they can all be false. Deeply, seriously, amazingly false.

I don't know exactly how this ties to "blame", but blame strikes me as very similar to "bad" tonight.

Blame seems to be the finger that says "Things are bad, and it's your fault!"

or

"You are bad, and it's your fault!"

The whole existence of a quality of "badness" calls for someone to take credit for it.

Satan's to blame. Strangely, Jesus took the fall for Satan's badness and all the falseness that he spread.

This is a good flow you started, Moonshine.

This song is resonating with me. It's in my heart and has found my voice. I admit to being a Christina Perry fan. I've been known to...
