Jesus isn’t trying to expose you to put shame on you. He’s trying to expose the sin that has its chains around you.
Shame
Lysa TerKeurst
The voices of shame and rejection can come at us, but they don’t have to reside in us. God says we are loved. God says we are chosen. God says we’re forever His. And His is the voice we must choose to believe.
Bob Goff
God is big enough and loves me enough to say He forgives me. I should actually believe Him. I mean, I shouldn’t keep feeling bad about all of the times I’ve messed up because that’s ignoring what God said. When I don’t trust God’s forgiveness, it’s kind of like saying I really don’t believe He’s that good.
Jack Winters
Darkness is a moral state where you hide things, have secrets, and give the enemy ground to traffic in your life.
Jason Vallotton
Given an opportunity, shame will mask itself as your best friend, and it will convince you that it is only there to help you.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There is nothing more wonderful than when you have been hiding yourself from Him, as it were, afraid to look at Him, but at last in desperation, you just have to look up, and you see the most surprising thing you have ever seen. There is a look of love. There is a look of compassion and of mercy and of pity and of welcome, and you see the great invitation, “Come!” And you go back to Him filled with ‘joy unspeakable and full of glory’.
Cyndi Millett
Sometimes, we are so ashamed of ourselves that we automatically feel like Jesus is too. But he’s not. He knew you’d struggle, he knew you’d make some wrong decisions, he knew you’d go through some rough phases, but he still chose the cross. Don’t run from him. Run to him.

Shame’s power can be broken. In fact, its power has been broken. There is a key that will unfasten the shackles of shame that have bound and imprisoned you. This key can unlock the shame of the wrongs you have done. This key can unlock the shame of the wrongs done to you. This key is the love of Jesus Christ, crucified and risen.

I have learned that breaking free from the shackles of shame is not an overnight experience or a quick-fix, ten-step process. It is, however, a grand, ongoing adventure of discovering the depths of God’s love and the huge scope of God’s power to transform us, re-create us, and continually renew us.

Fear and shame want to keep you small. They want you to be afraid of taking risks or be ashamed when a risk doesn’t work out. You have a call of God on your life. You can’t afford to listen to any voice that tries to keep you small.
