    Shed Shame

    There are predictable directions we head when we feel the sting of shame. If we don't share it and shed it, it moves us to cover up, hide out, blame, or justify and excuse. At the heart of shame is alienation, and it can lead up to self-harm or annihilation. If we face it and share it, it opens us to grace. Grace is the favor we do not deserve, and at the heart of grace is acceptance and affection. We cannot heal our own shame. It disconnects us from relationship and can only be healed by reaching out to God and others. 

    Shame - Condemnation or Invitation?

    Shame is a universally painful experience we feel when we become aware of our inadequacy, our brokenness, our failures, and flaws. It can push us down into isolation and drive us deep into disconnection and alienation. At its worst, it can lead to annihilation. But when we choose to reach out and share our shame, we open ourselves to acceptance and grace.

    As we let go of our fantasy of running our own show, we can determine to let our loving Father have the reins. In the third beatitude, Jesus promises - "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." When we surrender to God, everything He has becomes available for our enjoyment.

    In the second beatitude, Jesus extols the virtue of grieving. When we have invested emotionally in something and lose it, we must mourn to let go. Ironically, grieving the past prepares us to embrace the future. Avoiding our feelings allows them to control us, but when face them and cast our cares on God, we find He calls us near.

    As we are born again, Jesus invites us to cry out to our loving Father in heaven. Staying close to our brokenness keeps us close to the One Who Restores.
