Day 4: Breaking Free From Shame

Shame is a powerful force that can keep us bound to our past and to generational cycles. It whispers that we are fundamentally flawed, unworthy of love and belonging. But this is not God's voice.

Romans 8:1 declares that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. In Christ, we are freed from shame. We are clothed in His righteousness, fully accepted and deeply loved.

Breaking free from shame requires us to consistently align our thoughts with God's truth. It means rejecting the lies that have been spoken over us or our families and embracing our identity as beloved children of God.

Today, whenever you feel shame creeping in, counter it with God's truth. Speak out loud who you are in Christ. Remember, you are not defined by your past mistakes or your family's history, but by the finished work of Jesus.
