Psalm 31:25POWERFUL REGRET QUOTE “Regret is a short, evocative and achingly beautiful word: an elegy to lost possibilities …To admit regret is to understand that we are fallible - that there are powers beyond us… fully experienced, it turns our eyes, attentive and alert, to a future possibly lived better than our past." ~ David Whyte, poetWalk of shame turned into a walk of grace. No smell of fire on you. (Daniel 3:36-37) When we turn our lives over to God, there comes a point where we are so removed from our past and our sin that others won't believe who we were because now they see WHO WE WERE MEANT TO BE IN CHRIST. PIVOTAL POINT IN BOOK- discusses the Game of ThronesSeason 5 Finale- If you've experienced shame, it will ring a bell for you. While the LIAR calls, "shame, shame, shame...." Jesus' voice affirms your true identity in Christ, This is a powerful scene and you won't want to miss Janell's insight. Book Recommendation from Janell:The Soul of Shame Dr. Curt ThompsonWe all have a shame attendant. We like to call him, LIAR, because that's exactly what he's does. Our enemy is hellbent on lying to us. Yet, Jesus wants to speak Truth over us because that is Who He is. The Way, The Truth, The Life! THE GRACE PARADENow, God walks behind us and before us saying, “GRACE, GRACE!”We can be stronger every day because of He who is in us. (1 John 4:4)Look for this Affirmation in the book: Shame Shake Off- Prayer:Father, you are a God who sends a parade of grace before us. Thank you for making us stronger every day! Amen.A Jesus encounter changes everything. - page 142, Stronger Every Day by Janell RardonWe are all on a journey. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation.
