"Ahhh, shame"

Back home we say "ahhh shame" if someone has stubbed their toe or had a tough day.  We use it so glibly!  It really doesn't make any sense.  SHAME.  Shame is that feeling that makes you want to hide.  It tells you that there is something deeply horrible about your person hood.  It makes you want to hide and one feels embarrassed about something one has done or even who one is.  I love what C.S Lewis says about shame...

“I sometimes think that shame, mere awkward, senseless shame, does as much towards preventing good acts and straightforward happiness as any of our vices can do.”

We all deserve happiness and we should do everything in our power (depending on God of coarse!) to rid ourselves of shame.  Let us let go of things that entangle us and press through to live a FULL and glorious life!

Amen,

Love,
