To feel shame is normal.
At times, it can even be healthy.
But to identify with shame is blasphemy.
Shame is a furnace that burns away what isn’t true about you,
But through this furnace, God’s work in Christ
is to turn you back to God’s first and final word about you…
your core identity…
which is, was, and can only be
”Beloved.”
Ooo. I got goose bumps. Thank you.
