The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new
every morning; great is your
faithfulness.
Lamentations
3:22-23
I have been walking in freedom from shame for some time now, but I will
say that it has been quite a battle for me. For years I struggled internally
with regrets and shame over many choices in my life. Shame is something I know
all too well.
Having grown up with little knowledge of God or His word, I had no real
foundation upon which to build. I was quite lost. I made poor decisions that left
me feeling completely buried with shame. Not understanding the Love of the
Father and that His mercies are new every morning, I continued to live in a
vicious cycle of sin and defeat, heaping shame upon shame. The shame got so
heavy that it took quite a toll on my emotional well-being. I cried out to God
and asked him to pull me out of the pit I had dug for myself. I can’t tell you
how many times since then I have had to do the very same thing. God has been so
faithful to me when I least deserved it.
What about you? Have you ever felt so buried in shame that you felt
stuck under the heavy weight of it? Perhaps you find yourself in a vicious
cycle of defeat. Sisters, I am here to tell you that no matter how many times
you “fall,” you are never too far “gone.” God’s mercies are new every single
morning. Once we truly understand that, the shame we carry begins to fall from
us. How amazing is that? If you are living a life of defeat, please know it’s
never too late to receive His mercy and grace. You have never stepped too far
outside His will that He cannot redeem you; I am living proof.
Lord God, we thank You
that Your mercies are new every morning. Where would we be without them? We
thank You for Your unfailing love and ask that You would minister to those that
are hurting today. Send forth Your Word and heal them, Lord. We praise you for who you are and we fall on
our knees today in humility, Father, for we are so thankful that you save us
from the pit of our own destruction.
