What helps you boast at your achievements and contrive excuses for

your mistakes?

SHAME


What can turn a simple gift from God into feelings of superiority and

then at the first sign of trouble plunge you to the depths of inferiority?

SHAME


What can take you captive through the compliments of others and

then make you feel rejected by their most genuine criticism?

SHAME


What can make you rabidly chase an illusion of success that never

satisfies and then completely paralyze you with fear of failure?

SHAME


What will let you take credit for good things you don't deserve and

blame others for their hard times?

SHAME


What can make you feel smug in self righteousness and the next

overwhelm you with guilt and self loathing?

SHAME


Sin trapped us in SHAME and unworthiness....


We were born with it whispering in our ear and it spread like cancer

sinking it's tentacles into every thing you and I think and do.


Our only source of freedom from it is in our Fathers love.

Only when I find my security in Father's love is it's voice unmasked.


God didn't need a cross to love me.

He already loved me!

I needed the cross to be free from sin and SHAME.


And on the cross SHAME in the human spirit was undermined...

I am now SHAME free.

...no shame on me
