Have you ever thought about that word, "blameless"?
I just realized, last night, that I've never appreciated what God means when he calls me to be blameless. It means that I live in such a way that I am above reproach--above blame--above suspicion. Like Christ.
That shakes me. That is NOT my life. Thousands of self-judged "minor" infractions characterize everything I do.
I need to stop rationalizing my sins away, and recognize that if I act in a way that could incur blame, I sin.
Just a thought.
