 I'm convinced shame is one of Satan's most powerful tools and destructive weapons to use in the life of believers because it untethers us from our security in Christ. We know who we are in Christ. We are loved. We are forgiven. We are secure to him. He is a rock. He is our foundation. He is our strength. He calls us beloved. He delights in us. He calls us righteous not because of our own works, but because of Jesus' righteousness. This is our security, but shame comes in and it says, no, that's not who you are. No, you're not doing enough. No, don't you remember the things you did in your past? It speaks these things over us trying to convince us that what Jesus says of us is all a facade. No, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't know the real you. Jesus today, he knows what you're feeling. He knows those lies that kind of reverberate around your heart. Put that shame on Jesus because he's already born and all on himself so that you can be free so that you can rest.
