"It's YOUR fault!" - "No, it's YOUR fault!" Ever listen to a couple of kids quarreling about who's to blame? Or maybe, it's a husband/wife spat--and I won't even guess who wins that one! But there's another accuser out there trailing you, putting nagging little thoughts into your mind, "It's all your fault...your kids are not serving the Lord, your husband (or wife) doesn't love you, your boss doesn't understand you--and even God doesn't want you!"
Well, the devil's a liar! People make choices, good or bad, and YOU are not responsible for the choices they make! You love and serve God to the best of your ability, and let the rest of the world choose--or NOT choose to serve Him--it's NOT your fault!
Don't allow the devil house room in your mind today. As he recites your real or imagined faults and failures, remind him of God's real, and NOT imagined, faithfulness. And then remember, God finds no fault in you; you're covered by the Blood, your sin has been cast into the sea of God's forgetfulness, and . . .

Lift your head up high, let the enemy of the Lord take his flight, and be free in Jesus' Name!
"There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1,2)."
Prayer: "Lord, I'm tired of the devil's hounding and blaming me until I believe his lies and crumble at his charge. YOU took all the blame for me at Calvary and I need not receive nor claim it as my own. I choose to serve You; I choose to live for you--and YOU are my defense. I believe it; I receive it, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
