It's all your fault, It's my fault, "who is at fault?"

Someone needs to be blamed.

Galatians 5:19-25

No matter how much blame we attempt to offload onto others, the Lord cannot be misled by our maneuvering. He looks only at the heart when determining how to discipline believers or convict them of sin. As a result, the blame game does not end up making us look better. Instead, it hinders our fellowship with God. The responses He is looking for are forgiveness when we are hurt and repentance when we do the injuring. Otherwise, we are too caught up in either vengeance or escaping culpability to focus on spiritual matters.

Followers of God are to sow peace and grow spiritual fruit like love, joy, and kindness. (Galatians 5:22-23) If you are clinging to blame, all that is growing are the emotional “weeds” separating you from God’s best. Ask Him for forgiveness and the strength to forgive others. The blame game is over.
