Shame.
It makes us run and hide.
It creates distance between us and God.
It tells us we aren’t good enough. That we aren’t worthy of being loved. Shame says that we could never be holy.
The bible is full of people who seemed to be overcome by the weight of shame. The woman at the well waited until the hottest time of the day to draw water so she could avoid people who knew of her reputation. Jesus brought her a message about a living water that would quench even her deepest thirst forever. The bleeding woman had a disorder that excluded her from social contact. But she was the one, in a bustling crowd of people, who reached out to silently touch Jesus. In doing so, she found her healing.
Psalm 34:5 says, “Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.”
When we look to Jesus, we always find joy; a pure joy that transcends our circumstances. Our prayer for Harvest this year is that women everywhere will lift their eyes to the only ONE who brings true joy, that they will look to Him for their help, and trade the shadow of shame for the radiance of joy!
