How Shame Gets a Hold of Us (Part 2)
You don’t have to have lived very long to recognize: sin destroys relationships. The moment that someone sins against us or we sin against someone else, it instantly causes us to question: why would they do that to me? Or -why would I do that to them?
Yet asking this question is evidence of something beautiful about us all: we were created to be loved and valued. When someone threatens that value, we naturally react in an attempt to restore a sense of dignity.
Have you ever been shocked at your own capacity to sin? It’s overwhelming how much hurt we are capable of. This makes us want to hide and minimize our sin because once again, we have to protect this sense of value we all have within us. And so we hide. We go through life trying to control everyone’s view of us. In the process, our wound goes deeper.
