THOSE WHO LOOK TO HIM ARE<br />

When we protect<br />

ourselves, we cover<br />

our light/ radiance<br />

(reflecting Jesus).<br />

I did this for a long<br />

time. I was covered<br />

with shame. As a five<br />

year old girl, I was<br />

(PSALM 34:5)<br />

sexualized(abused) and<br />

this experience put into<br />

motion a lot of unhealthy behavior that<br />

I developed which, in turn, brought me<br />

more shame. The definition of shame is a<br />

painful emotion caused by a strong sense<br />

of guilt, embarrassment or unworthiness.<br />

I did many things to make up for my<br />

shame and to prove my worth. I have<br />

since gotten help and understand this<br />

particular wound in my life and it’s effects.<br />

God has been walking me though a<br />

healing process. Regardless of the types<br />

of wounds you may have experienced in<br />

life, you never have to be covered with<br />

shame (Psalm 34:5). This scripture says,<br />

THOSE WHO LOOK TO HIM ARE<br />

RADIANT AND THEIR FACES ARE<br />

NEVER COVERED WITH SHAME<br />

“Those who look to<br />

him are radiant and<br />

their faces are never<br />

covered with shame.”<br />

And I have now tasted<br />

what it is to walk in His<br />

light and freedom. I’m<br />

not perfect...and I still<br />

struggle but not nearly<br />

as much as I use to. As<br />

we get to really know Jesus and spend<br />

time with Him, His truth will kill any lies<br />

and wounds that you have ever received.<br />

His Word and His love give us the courage<br />

and humility to get help and face our past<br />

and heal from it.<br />

If you would like to pursue healing and<br />

freedom from past wounds, I encourage<br />

you to:<br />

• Pray that God brings you a mature<br />

Christian sister (mom, sister, friend,<br />

counselor, mentor, pastor).
