We Carry Shame

We all carry things seen and unseen. This week we name shame—the heavy, quiet voice that whispers “I am unlovable; I don’t belong.” Psalm 139 declares the opposite: God fully knows us and does not turn away. Romans 8:1 seals it: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Note: Shame intersects with family systems, trauma, culture, and faith experiences. Professional care (counseling, medical support) can be a faithful part of healing.
