Godly Grit 27 - Stronghold 13 - Shame

Shame is the internalization, personalization, and rumination about our inadequacy and depravity.   Shame causes emotionally painful self-condemnation. Shame is a state of bitter, paralyzing remorse when you get a glimpse of who you are.   Shame is a powerful force. We do all we can to look good and intact from the outside, knowing something is rotten on the inside because of shame.   We all hide and avoid exposure. Shake off the shackles of shame.   Do not believe the lie of the enemy who is trying to destroy you.   Be grateful for God’s grace and the work of Christ. Live the fruit of the Holy Spirit through love.   Shame and fear of accusation do not have to weigh you down. Romans 8:1 (TPT), “So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.” We are all depraved, so depraved that Jesus had to die for us – you no longer have to listen to the enemy’s voice of condemnation.
