For Shame
Shame is a lie of the enemy. Surrendering our shame allows us to feel the freedom of grace we have been given.

The hurt of the world beats us down, tells us we have done something bad. The hurt of the Holy Spirit moves us to confession where we find redemption.
If we are to be altar’d by the Holy Spirit, we must surrender our thoughts and grasp hold of the truth of Jesus.
Regret doesn’t have to be altogether bad. When the Holy Spirit uses regret as a motivation to reverse our course, then Jesus will give us freedom.
It is Jesus’s blood that makes atonement for my life. Jesus is the lifeblood and only through Him can we have life.
“On earth as it is in heaven” is what we long for . . . and by ourselves, we cannot experience the presence of a Holy God.
Embracing a life of surrender isn’t something to be afraid of, but it is something that can bring great joy and peace within community.
As we practice giving away our thanksgiving, it does two things: it creates a habit in us and it raises others up.
We have a choice to offer our vow to the Lord and we have a choice every day to be faithful to that vow.
Respond to the extravagant grace of Jesus by slowing down, perhaps even stopping, to pour out our thanks to the one who has poured out Himself for us.
Being thankful in all circumstances teaches us to have a grateful heart. It teaches us to look for the good in our lives and in other people.
