Proverbs 19:3 "A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord."
What is a fatal flaw with our society today? - No one is responsible for anything. Someone breaks the rules and gets injured because of their own decisions - instead of taking responsibility they look for someone to blame, and if they are "true Americans" they look for someone to sue!
When we can not take responsibility for our own actions to each other, imagine what we do to God. We decide to break His rules, His commandments, and then we blame Him for the mess our lives have become. We want no part of Him until we are completely broken, desperate, or both. However, in our pride we immediately start to blame God for allowing these things to happen - "How could God do this to me?" - Newsflash, God did not do it to you, He may have allowed you to venture down that path YOU chose...
Though God is waiting for you to admit your sins and seek forgiveness... He wants to restore you and have a relationship with you. It requires your humility and ownership of your actions - but in His perfect love He will not condemn you for you mistakes, He will actually separate you from them and restore you... That is Love.
