Thankful Thursday
Good morning Queens, I thank God for allowing me to live into another chapter of life. Last Friday, Good Friday, was my birthday and I have been celebrating Jesus, our relationship, and how Holy week happened because of how much He loves me.
I realized that my worst failure is not stronger than God's forgiveness!
Psalms 34:4-5 says; 'I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.'
Shame is different from guilt.
Guilt says, "I did something bad." Shame says, "I am bad." Guilt focuses on behavior that can be changed; shame attacks identity itself. Guilt motivates us toward confession and repentance; shame drives us toward hiding and isolation.
"Radiant faces, never covered with shame." This is God's desire for His children. Not because we're perfect, but because His love is perfect. Not because we have no reason for shame, but because His grace is greater than any reason shame might offer.
WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR TODAY?
