Overcoming Shame

We must not let shame sabotage God’s purpose for us, or paralyze His call on our lives.  He has given all of us an assignment, and we must believe that everyone’s life is significant and has a purpose. The devil’s favorite weapon to use against us is shame over something that happened in the past. As Christians, we must not only understand shame, but learn how to overcome it. Shame stems from a sense of failure and is a powerful emotion caused by a consciousness of guilt or shortcoming, but the answer to the shame dilemma is Jesus, Himself.
