 Here's the reason so many Christians are in bondage to shame. They've mistaken condemnation for conviction. You see, God uses conviction to draw us back to Himself after we sin. But condemnation is a voice of shame, drawing us away from God saying that we can never be forgiven. Some believe these lies as truth and let shame rule over them. No matter how much money they make, or how successful they are, or how hard they work, they can't seem to ease this shame within them. I felt it too. We need to recognize that that voice is coming from the evil one, trying to draw us out of the battle, trying to convince us that we can never be used by God. It's a lie, it's always been a lie, and if you haven't heard somebody say this to you, those voices are wrong about you. In Christ, you are loved, accepted, and empowered to live out His purpose for your life. The question really is, when will you realize it?
