Today : Shadow Of Shame
TODAY’S VERSE
“I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.” Psalms 34:4-5 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
A shadow of shame. How fitting. Shame is a darkness that definitely shadows our soul. A pervasive feeling of brokenness. A sense that we are unworthy, unable to receive love. A self loathing. What will it take to set us free? What can ever change a perception of worthlessness? Nothing less than the Creator. The one who created us is able to disaffirm our misbelief. And so we pray. Fears, too afraid to think of, so terrifying that they cannot be uttered. But God hears the language of our angst. He understands and frees us from our emotional bondage. And what was a shadow becomes a radiant light. Our shame returns to joy as the shadow disappears. Today, bring your shame to Him. He will free you from all your fears, doubts and self loathing. He will turn your shadow into radiant joy.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I cannot express how hard it is for me to accept Your love. The shadow of shame darkens my soul so I cry out to you. You, in all Your love, dare to call me Your own. You have said that You love me, so I come. I look to You. Might the radiance of Your love remove my shadow of shame and give me joy.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I have traded my shame for joy
Today picture yourself sitting in a shadow of shame. You can sense a gloom. Your soul feels downcast but then you see a light. It is a warm radiance, coming over the horizon, creeping upon the darkness, causing it to slowly dissipate. You recognize the sensation. It is the love of God invading your soul. You can feel shame being replaced by joy. Close your eyes and see the darkness become overtaken by light. Bask in His love and joy and then affirm to God, “I have traded my shame for joy!”
