Shame is feeling that you as a human being are bad .
Guilt is knowing that you did something wrong or bad .
It is okay that we feel guilty when we do something wrong . But when , out of shame , we take on our mistakes as part of our identity , it continually spurs us further into actions we aren ’ t proud of . We never gain the freedom of feeling we can do anything different . We don ’ t feel empowered to change .
Receiving God ’ s forgiveness and forgiving and being kind to yourself is healing .
Adapted from Wholehearted Love : Overcome the Barriers That Hold You Back in Your Relationship with God and Others — and Delight in Feeling Safe , Seen , and Loved by Stefanie and Caleb Rouse , releasing in April 2024 .
Instead , we need to replace the shame with truth . Then we need to make repentance a priority , before God , ourselves , and others . If there is something we need to make amends for , we can do that . Then we ’ ll be able to move on in freedom instead of feeling stuck our entire lives .
When you know those mistakes no longer define you , it helps you to walk away from unhealthy decisions and actions in the future .
