You’re here now, listening for a reason.
Maybe you’re hoping to find a new way, break a habit.
Understanding the motivation behind your goal is key to healthy change. In this episode, we’ll explain how shame works. Learning to recognize the sneak and bully Shame is in your work towards wholeness is important.
From the outside, your eagerness to volunteer and motivation to serve can look godly and impressive. But, if shame is driving you; that eagerness and motivation can push you towards internal chaos. For now, try to take a breath and relax your shoulders.
As you’re becoming whole, learn to look for shame and listen for Jesus.
Highlights:
Shame masquerading as godly zeal is going to do internal damage inside a person.
The outside might look like motivation but inside shame drives you to damaging ways.
Shame communicates the message that you are a bad, unworthy person; that there’s something uniquely deficient, detective, dirty about you.
Shame projects successful images in order to cover up its presence.
Jesus, the true shepherd, draws his people towards becoming fully and wholly who they are designed to be.
He draws them to confession and repentance and humility. He draws them towards godliness.
He goes first.
He doesn’t drive us with shame, Jesus draws us with His love.
We need to recognize and get with people who can help us uncover the shame that we carry and be healed by the love of God in those areas.
Psalm 23 (NLT)
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
Romans 2:4
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
