DEFLECTING THE BLAME

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS,I HAVE HAD PRETTY MUCH A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF SORTS. I HAVE LEARNED TO SEE THING FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND MAKE MORE EDUCATED DECISIONS AS TO WHAT I NEED TO DO IN LIFE TO SUCCEED,OR AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO.ALL THE WHILE, I KNOW THAT THE LORD UP ABOVE HAS SEEN ME THROUGH IT ALL.IT HASN'T BEEN A WORK OF ART,BUT I HAVE HAD MORE POSITIVES THAN NEGATIVES.

NOW ,IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME,YOU KNOW I AM NOT REAL BIG ON SPEAKING ON RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS I.E CHRISTIAN,CATHOLIC,AND THE LIKE. I HAVE ALWAYS FASHIONED MYSELF AS A MAN OF FAITH,NOT NEEDING NOR WANTING THE IDEA THAT SOME MIDDLE MAN (OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER)DICTATING TO ME HOW I SHOULD BECOME CLOSER TO GOD AND WHEN AND WHERE I SHOULD DO IT.

HOWEVER,AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THERE ARE STILL A FEW LOST SOULS THAT HAVE NOT MADE THAT CONNECTION WITH GOD AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSION.INSTEAD THESE"HOLIER THAN THOU" CHOOSE TO BLAME THOSE AROUND THEM FOR  THEIR"GOD-LESS" LIVES.AND THIS IS WHERE I HAVE A PROBLEM.

LET'S BE HONEST.NO ONE INTREPRETS THE WORD OF GOD THE SAME AS THE NEXT.AND THAT'S FINE.BUT DON'T BLAME THOSE AROUND YOU FOR BEING"ENABLERS".YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING WHEN YOU SLEEP AROUND,OR DRINK TOO MUCH,ORWHATEVER IT IS THAT HAS "PUSHED" YOU FROM GOD. I GOT NEWS FOR YA. NO ONE HAS THAT MUCH POWER.NOT ON THIS EARTH.NOT AMONG THE LIVING.WE ARE SO QUICK TO BLAME LIFE'S PITFALLS ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS AND WITH GOD.REALISTICALLY, WE NEED TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR.IT IS A SOBERING FEELING WHEN YOU DO.

LOOK, I AM NOT SAYING THAT IF YOU FEEL YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS NOT HOW YOU WANT IT THAT YOU SHOULDN'T FIND WAYS TO IMPROVE IT. I'M ALL FOR IT.BUT DON'T ACT LIKE YOU HAVE NO ROLE IN NOT HAVING THAT RELATIONSHIP IN BETTER STANDING IN THE FIRST PLACE.YOU ARE RESPONSILE FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.BUT IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE, THAT'S FINE. JUST REMEMBER THOUGH. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RECAPTURE THAT WHICH YOU HAD ONCE IT'S GONE. AND GOD WILL BE THERE... TO JUDGE YOU ACCORDINGLY.
