We blame others for our ____________________ and don't take responsibility.
“The man said ’You gave me this woman to me.

So I ate it.’

So I ate the fruit.’”

We lose our _______________________ to please those we're performing for
“Judas saw that they had decided to kill Jesus.
Judas was the one who gave Jesus to his enemies.
When Judas saw what happened, he was very sorry for what he had done.
So he took the 30 silver coins back to the priests and the leaders.
Judas said, ‘I sinned.
I gave you an innocent man to be killed.’
The leaders answered, "What is that to us?
That's your problem, not ours.’
So Judas threw the money into the temple.
Then he went off and hanged himself.”
Matthew 27:3-5

“While Jesus and his followers were traveling, Jesus went into a town.
A woman named Martha let Jesus stay at her house.
Martha had a sister named Mary.
Mary was sitting at Jesus' feet and listening to him teach.
Martha became angry because she had so much work to do.
She went in and said, ‘Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me all alone to do all the work?
Tell her to help me.!’  But the Lord answered her , ‘Martha, Martha, you are getting worried and upset about too many things.
Only one thing is important.
Mary has chosen the right thing, and it will never be taken away from her.’”  Luke 10:38-42
