PRAISE GOD THE FATHER!

For He has given us His one and only Son, to save the world and redeem our souls. He delights in us. He loves us. We are worthy of Him. Who are we, simple man, to argue against His word and believe or say that we are not? Realizing how greatly He loves you will free you. He knows of no guilt. He knows of no shame. I think the only shame that we should ever let ourselves be afflicted with is that which comes from our not accepting what our Lord God offers us. "Shame on you," indeed.

So turn around. Drop that shame, as you run to Christ. He will welcome you with open arms, full of love. Using the nail that held Him to the cross, He will pick open the chains that weigh you down.

Turn. Run. Be free.

' "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer
shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be
humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the
reproach of your widowhood.
For your Maker is your husband -
the Lord Almighty is his name -
the Holy One of Israel is your
Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth." '
[Isaiah 54:4-5]

In this passage, the Lord is speaking through Isaiah of the future glory of Zion - the bride of Christ. She is beautiful. Worthy. Wise.

Give thanks.

Pray...

'Heavenly Father, we thank You for all that You have done, are doing, and will do in our lives. We thank You for what you have given us, and what You have taken away. We are free to live without shame and guilt. We are free to live with hope and love. Help us to realize all the more how dear we are to You, and teach us to continually accept the gifts that You give. We love You. In Jesus' name, Amen.'
