Love> Shame

Shame is different than guilt:


Shame can be debilitating and lead to unnecessary strategies to
cope, including isolation and self-harm.


Shame can lead to perfectionism, dishonesty, and self-sabotage.


Chronic shame can lead to depression, anger, and even physical
health maladies including chronic fatigue.


Shame can cause obsessive negative self-talk and perpetual
feelings of inadequacy.


Luke 7:36-50 vividly teaches us what happens when shame
encounters a forgiving Savior.


Forgiveness from God unlocks a reservoir of worship.


God’s steadfast love can and will erase shame.
