This one was very hard to do But in light of George Floyd and so many others it must be shared. It is personal and I share my shame. It is a healthy shame today. A shame that I can understand. Not a toxic shame that screams defective. A loving shame that points to the evil and arrogance we were never intended to indulge. In a way it is a confession and testimony of change. I fear it because the toxic shame whispers “you will be judged” yet the Spirit is saying in vulnerability and grace there is healing, not only for yourself but others.
