Shame came into the world when Adam and Eve sinned. Before that time, they were not ashamed of their bodies. The moment they sinned, they discovered that they were naked, and they were afraid and hid from My Father.
Shame will always cause you to hide from Me. The good news is that when I gave My life on the cross as a perfect sacrifice, I bore your shame. Once you have accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, shame should never be in your life.
Paul wrote these words, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16)." Paul was able to write this because his hope was in Me, not in his own works of righteousness. That hope never will cause shame to be in your life, because you know without a doubt that My love has been poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit.
GENESIS 2:25, ISAIAH 54:4; ROMANS 1:16, 5:5
