A Daily Devotional About erasing the shame and the guilt: Matthew 12:22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. (NIV) All shame and guilt come from what has happened in the past. We do not experience shame and guilt from future events unless we imagine the events to be like the events of the past. Turning away or repenting means turning away from the shame and guilt we experienced because of our past. Shame and guilt are not part of the new life Christ wants you to have. Christ wants you to move forward with no shame and no guilt from your past. Even when you experience shame and guilt, even the shame and guilt of the past, God wants you to push hard for tomorrow. In God's thinking, you have no time to look back and grieve over what happened to you in the past when you were blind. God is about infinite progress moving ever forward. Take just a moment and step back from the shame and humiliation you carry. Whatever humiliation you carry, from whatever source, step back and let Christ stand between you and the shame and guilt of your past. The more you let Christ intervene, the more healing you can experience as a result of His love. Christ's love is our great healing balm from the humiliation of our past. His love is our salve erasing the emotion of our shame and guilt. |
