Shame Part 2

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

The choice to not live under shame is an easy choice to make, but perhaps not so easy to live out. It can be a battle to replace the lies based on fact, when they come at you. Even as I have been praying about God’s desire to free His children from the prison of shame, shame enveloped me. Trying to make me forget who I am in Christ; who God created me to be.

As I was walking this morning, taking some time away from the noise, listening to some praise music. God reminded me who He is and who I am during that walk. In the Chris Tomlin song “Good Good Father” the chorus says: “You're a good good father It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are And I'm loved by you It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am.

No matter what the past holds, God loves you and nothing can separate you from the God’s love.

Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

So when shame tries to imprison you, remember that God loves you and that is who you are.

You are loved by the King of kings and the Lord of lords – that’s who you are!
