Freedom from shame
"That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day." 2 Timothy 1:12.
Confidence in suffering is the epitome of maturity. Paul during his trial guarded his heart from shame. Shame has its root in deception because shame is from within and not from without. People cannot put shame upon you because 'all have sinned' and fallen short of perfection. All need forgiveness and all qualified to be ashamed of something or another. No one is perfect.
Jesus, the only perfect One, took our shame on the cross and gave us His righteousness. Be confident that if you have entrusted yourself in God's care, He is able to keep you. In your season of trial, trust in God. He will never leave you nor forsake you, but He will guard you, preserve you and protect you until your victory is completed.
Stand tall, lift up your head, shake off your shame and know that in Christ you have been forgiven and have the ability to create a whole new world of greatness. The shameful acts of the past are teaching tools that will help you in the greatness of your tomorrow. "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you." Isaiah 60:1. God's CHAYIL Glory of worship, wisdom, power, honor, favour, wealth and influence rise upon you.
Kingdom Declaration:
Jesus Christ took my shame on the cross so now I am free to live, love, and grow in His Glory.
