God Speaks Louder Than Shame

I used to believe shame was holy. I thought if I felt guilty enough, maybe I’d finally get my act together. But shame never healed anyone. It isolates. It accuses. It crushes.

But God doesn’t shame us into change—He invites us into grace.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” – Romans 8:1 (NIV)

If you're hearing a voice that says you’re not good enough, not forgiven, or not worth it—that’s not God. His voice speaks life, not shame.
