Three Observations:

1. Don’t be surprised when negative thoughts come.

2. Thinking creates feelings. It doesn’t change the truth.

3. Guilt is about what I’ve done. Shame tries to say what I am.

Five Steps To Stop The Shame:

1. Examine your thoughts to discover the source.

2. Look into any unresolved issues like, unconfessed sin, unmade amends, or unforgiven hurts.

3. Ask God for clear directions.

4. Be obedient to that.

5. Give your history to God and accept His present and future for you. 2 Corinthians 5:17
