Our brains are wired to remember pain. Think about it. You learned not to touch a hot stove after one burn. But what about mistakes that go deeper? The words you wish you could take back. The promises you broke. The guilt that resurfaces when you least expect it.
That’s where shame sneaks in. It tries to convince us we are forever defined by our failures. But listen to Paul’s words in Romans 8:1: “There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” Not less. Not delayed. None.
If shame is sitting heavy on your heart today, take a deep breath. Sit with this truth. Speak it out loud. You are not defined by your worst moments. You are a new creation, fully forgiven, deeply loved, truly free.
Prayer:
God, thank you for your limitless grace. Teach me how to release the weight of condemnation so I can walk fully in your freedom. Amen.
