Living your best life—blamelessly

Are you living your best life? “Best life” could mean having the most fun and pleasure as possible. Instead, think of the best life as the perfect way for you to live.

In other words, if you can accept that you have a purpose of being a human on this planet, how can you maximize your purpose?

How can you do everything you were made to do?

How can you live perfectly?

You can’t live perfectly, right? Most of us don’t want to. We understand how prone we are to jacking things up. To pulling our dirty sneakers out of our mouths. To once again doing what we said we would never do. And we’ve given up on living our best life.

What if you’re the opposite and you’re deeply invested in this purpose idea? You’re not only following rules, you’re making things happen, you’re saving lives, you’re practically a walking-talking tablet of good commandments and a bowl of chicken soup for others’ souls.

Even if you’re that, how would you ever know if you’re living your best life? Who would tell you? How could you or anyone else calculate you’re living up to whatever you’re supposed to live up to?

Imagine the best life is one that’s blameless. To live without faulty intentions or actions, to constantly live wholesomely.

We’re probably right if we think it’s an impossible idea—that is—if we are responsible for living our best life, or to live in a blameless way.

Psalm 18:32 - “God equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.”

That’s why Psalm 18:32 is such a mind-bending game changer. It says, “You made my way blameless.” It’s not up to us to live our best life—that’s God’s job.

So what do we do? We realize that the way isn’t a thing, but a person. Jesus said, “I am the Way.” And he told us to follow Him.

If every day we can follow the Way, we’ll find our way getting closer and closer to blameless. Indeed, apart from Him, we can’t do anything. Yet all things are possible to the one who believes.

Go live that best life.
