THE BONDAGE OF LEAVING IN SHAME

Shame is an emotion that many Christian find in their path after poor choices. The realization of what Christians have done hits them. They are sorry for their mistakes but shame is like a door that does not open to allow them to move to a place of safety and restoration. Instead of stopping the downward spiral and moving to good choices, it is easier for many Christians to allow the emotion of shame with his cousin guilt to imprison them. Christians become stuck and this can go on for years or the rest of their lives if emotions are allowed to fuel choices.

What should we do in such a condition?

A choice to override emotions is essential for you to begin the process toward health and freedom. The forces of evil want to keep Christians under the control of shame and guilt. Such a condition will create inner voices that speak negativity, depression, and poor self-worth continually.

What happened when the prodigal son came home? Did he get a scolding or the place of a servant? NO! The father ran to meet him and wept like a baby at the return of his child. God, your Father, is waiting to run to meet those who will turn away from their emotions and confess their errors in choices. He wants to hug Christian singles and burst out with his expressions of love and care for them. Welcome home is waiting for you – now! Read 1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Christians loaded with shame and guilt can claim this promise – now! Rom.8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
