Sorry to be so overtly spiritual, but these little teachings keep coming to me as I travel…
Walking blamelessly…another airport meditation:
The journey begins with owning our blame. I’m in the wrong, I need to make it right. That’s what Adam and Eve, our parents, couldn’t do. And yet…
Keep me on “the blameless way”, David writes. Nice line. Paul echoes it later with, that we may be pure and blameless on that day. Then, Jesus, without blemish or blame (spotless, sin-free) tells us we are His siblings. Ok. Getting that word.
We don’t become blameless through religious practice! But through, admitting our guilt, and unioning with the blameless One who is also, the blameless way. The Tao of Jesus, so to speak.
All the types or pathways of sin are present in the garden story if you look at it carefully!
Adam blamed Eve, early on, and Eve blamed the serpent. We, too tend to blame something else for our troubles-our parents, our situation-but then there is this blameless way or One. So we stay near to Him and walk into the final room blameless. That’s the way to blame free living. The blame game never works anyways.
