It’s not your fault

IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT

Up to what point are we responsible for suffering through the consequences of our parents or alcoholic spouses? Up to where should we sacrifice ourselves for a child who constantly has problems because of their lack of responsibility (jail, pregnancies, drugs, etc)? Up to what point are we responsible for the crises that someone causes due to their wrong choices or sins?

-It’s not your fault that an accident hurt someone else. It was an accident.
-It’s not your fault that your son or daughter is sick or was born with a sickness. There is much we don’t understand, but we do know that God is not the author of evil and it’s not your fault.
-It’s not your fault that some people don’t remain in church or don’t mature. They’ve all received the same teachings, but some choose to return to the world.

God told Samuel to not cry over Saul anymore.
King Saul sinned against God and that hurt Prophet Samuel very much. He cried constantly over him, but the reality is that each person is responsible for their own choices. Many times, we will hurt because of something another did, but we are not responsible. It is not our fault and there is nothing we can do about it. We cannot be crying all the time. We need to stop crying over whoever represents Saul in our lives; a man or woman. We need to let go of the guilt of someone in the family, work, church, marriage, etc.

To be continued:

Think about it:
Have you felt guilty or burdened by others’ decisions?
Have you blamed others for what has happened to you?
What had you stopped doing or neglected because you were suffering the consequences of others’ actions?
