How about making the passage below become your verse for this week?
"They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed."
Psalm 34:5
Almost all of us have some degree of shame in our lives. Even the seemingly most proud person is usually over-compensating for because of sense of shame somewhere in their soul.
In Christ alone, the spirit of shame can be broken. Certainly, the affirmation and encouragement of others goes a long way to bring restoration. And yes, some self-bolstering and our accomplishments, small or large, help us greatly, but only the Lord Jesus can truly, genuinely, and thoroughly heal shame.
So, if this is your struggle today, or on occasion, seek the Lord’s face. Let His words sink in and heal your heart and mind; freeing you from the torment of shame and its lies. This may be a process of deliverance from this tyrant, but let the radiance of His life begin in you today.
