Its like the story of Barbra, Peter and Kelli. Barbra was an amazing woman, she had everything going for her but the enemy had her so blinded that she was very insecure about herself, and she didnt even realize she was insecure. She saw that two of her closest friends were getting closer, Kelli and Peter. So, Barbra (still completely unaware of what she was doing) tried to sabotage their friendship because it made her even more insecure. She managed to convince Peter to hold out a knife every time he talked to Kelli, but even Peter was unaware of what was really going on. He didnt see it as a way to harm Kelli. All 3 of them had no idea what was coming because the enemy continued to keep Barbra blinded and wrapped up in drama because he knew how unbelievably powerful she had the potential to be. So Peter and Kelli were talking one day and Peter still continued to hold the knife in his hand. He knew it was dangerous but did not think it would actually hurt anyone. Barbra saw the two of them talking and as Kelli turned away from Peter to walk away Barbra apporoached her and got her to slowly back up. She kept urging Kelli to get closer to Peter. The whole time, she saw Peter there with the knife and saw that if Kelli continued to back up she would back up right into the knife. Instead of stopping Kelli from going any further she just watched as she continued to back towards Peter, to the point that Peter accidently but eventually ended up stabbing Kelli in the back.
It wasnt Peters fault, it wasnt even Barbras fault and Kelli wanted to blame the knife, but it wasn the poor knifes fault either, it was just doing what it was supposed to do...it was only Kellis fault for not being more careful.
Proverbs 4:23 "above all else, guard your heart for it effects everyhing you do."
Kelli knew this verse, very well. In fact, it was and still is hanging on her bedroom wall.
Kelli also knew another verse proving why she needed to heed the advice of proverbs...
Matthew 12:34 "for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
Its Kellis fault for not being more careful, Kelli got SERIOUSLY hurt. However, Barbra could have prevented the situation, she could have warned Kelli that Peter was holding a knife.

I love your heart for blaming Kelly instead of those who made decisions to hurt Kelli. As I see it- Barbara did the worst by not doing anything to not let her friend be hurt. And Peter also did wrong, he held a knife he could have chosen not to hold. In my view, Kelli did nothing wrong. She trusted, loved, and was a friend. It's not her fault others didn't help her guard her heart as well.
Great Blog :)
