No I dont have a dog, and if I did he wouldn't be bad, I recently read an article of about a NFL football player who blamed his dropped pass on God. The pressure was on in overtime and he drops the pass. When I read this I respond in way of saying, are you kidding? God made you drop that pass? Responsibility. Sometimes we can stay in our "safe zone" when we dont take responsibility for things, by pushing the blame away, it doesn't land upon us. This is by no means a doom and gloom thought for today but instead one of honesty.
In order for us to experience everything God has for us there comes a point to where we own up to our own actions, thoughts, etc. Christ's grace is more than enough for us, but really to understand His grace and forgiveness fully, we have to come to grips with our own decisions apart from Him. That is what makes His Grace, Forgiveness, Peace and Love so amazing!
So what....we can make poor decisions, does that define our worth? No, it should cause us concern but not undermine who we are. We are ID'd as Christ's own, His children, bought with a price. We need to only respond out of that identity to walk out true LIFE. Next time the pressure is on, you are in the "endzone" to win it, remember, God is most concerned about His relationship with you than you looking great in front of screaming fans. How empty and dull it actually is when we settle for what the world thinks of us based off what we can do, versus what God says about us based on whose we are. "In Him we Live and move and have our being".
