People will see your shame -Isaiah 47:4

Should you be ashamed of yourself ? We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.-Jeremiah 3:25 I had not seen my aunt for a long time. I love her very much. The death of my other aunt had brought us back together. I was hoovering around in the background while my brother worked the crowds. I think my brother is a real socialite but he really loves the family. So anyhow, I finally got a chance to see and greet my aunt. And these were her first words to me after over ten years. "Yu no shame" So being the walking wounded soldier, This was yet another direct hit..straight to the wound. ...but that is what soldiers do they take hits, so I retreated deeep into my wounded self and kept going. THERE IS NO RETREAT IN THIS WAR. So what is shame?..and why is it good for me? I would like to say it is a part of the spiritual immune system. If it is not working I run the risk of death from a simple infection of evil. Like germs, evil is everywhere.. Sin is the illness that results from the infection If left to myself, without God, I am a dispicable, obnoxious mess. The passage from Isaiah comes readily to mind From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. -Isaiah 1:6 You should be ashamed of yourself ! Why? Because if you are not you become proud and pride destroys like the germs And what is pride?...simlpy..it is independence from God...so wether by humility or humiliation or shame, I am assured by the chastening that he loves me when he shames me or humiliates me....so don't be afraid of the shameful memories of your past. They are to remind me of the foolishness of not acknowledging God in ALL my ways. We all have aspects of ourselves that we would rather not remember. We wish some things never happened... they make us ashamed We must thank God for his forgiveness. God has set us free. ....IF 1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
