Lord, I pray for wisdom for those struggling with feelings of shame and guilt. In Jesus’ name, amen.
China is often characterized as being an honor/shame society.
Being personally honorable and bringing honor to the family is vital.
However, whenever a person falters, the shame reflects not only on the person but also on the family.
An individual and a family can carry the burden of shameful acts for a lifetime, and this dishonor can even be passed down generationally.
Anyone with a burden of shame can trust the Apostle Paul when he writes in Ephesians 1:7-8 (ESV): “In [Christ] we have redemption thorough his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.”
Be wise! Know shame and guilt are defeated!
Trust in Christ.
Stop the guilt and shame once and for all!
