Day 13

God does not hold you in shame, no matter what you believe about yourself..
Because Jesus died on the cross for every bad thing you ever said or did, those shameful deeds are no longer held against you. Your acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice on your behalf frees you from the shame of sin..
GOD’s grace lifts you out of shame & trouble & gives you the ability to leave behind that crippled mindset of defeat..
GOD gives you strength when you think you cannot go on..
He makes a way when it looks impossible & gives you joy when you feel discouraged..
The devil wants to hold us down with our past mistakes, and shame is one of his favorite weapons. We need to fully receive God’s grace and ask for His help to overcome shame..
When you are tempted to wallow in shame, replace shame-filled thoughts with the hope-filled truths in God’s Word, and start your journey of freedom from shame to be lifted up and set back on the road to freedom that God promises to you..
God wants to draw you close, as a loving father tenderly embraces his child. The more you trust Him as your Father, Savior, and Guide, you will have greater courage to overcome your shame..
When you look to Jesus as your example, you will learn to avoid choices that lead towards shame. You’ll desire to please Him with your thoughts, words, and actions. He has a new life for you as you put your trust in Him..
“Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears! Gaze upon Him, join your life with His, and joy will come. Your faces will glisten with glory. You’ll never wear that shame-face again.….” (Psalm 34:4-5‬)
