Shame Stains Your Heart

B Moments, stain

This is our B moment. Our moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.

Scripture reference: Romans 8:28 (NLT)

This week, love is in the air, which means we can’t let shame stain our hearts.

Recently, we were talking about how great God’s love is and that it is more than enough to endure our poor decisions. Yet when I think about God’s love for me, I also think about how much I love myself.

I have been pretty open about my struggles with my self-worth, which, in my opinion, is directly linked to one’s ability to love oneself. Some of that comes from struggling with certain aspects of my past, even events that occurred twenty years ago.

What I’ve learned is that a failure to forgive myself can directly impact not only my ability to love myself, but also to love others and to be a good, loving example. In other words, shame from the past can put a stain on the heart.

Therefore, I’ve been working on self love, and I understand now that my past had a purpose. It’s important to embrace the beautiful along with the ugly. When we do that, we understand that it’s all a part of God’s plan for our lives.

This scripture has helped me on this path, so I cling to these words: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 (NLT)

Please share this reflection as others desire to be inspired.

So today, release any shame that might be staining your heart.
