Regardless, the Lord has been teaching me about shame, basically when temptation comes, or for me, when the enemy brings pictures in my head or says 'hey, remember when you did this?' the Bible says to RUN away from temptation to run into the arms of your father. Your father who has already forgotten!
I was talking to one of my greatest friends about shame and hurt from the past and she was saying how us humans like to hold on to that hurt thinking God can't or won't want to take care of that!
How true is that?
And how untrue it is!
Of course your lover, your father, your God CAN take that pain! And of course your lover, your father and your God WANTS to take that pain! Which brings us to trust...which I'm not going to get into but the Lord has really been showing me how to Run into his arms when temptation comes and especially when Shame comes! I'm thinking about memorizing some scripture to throw into the enemy's face when he comes-thats how Jesus did it when he was tempted so....why not me?
God is a great God, let's be still and know that he IS God.
