I never shame people to get them to repent. Shame is a ploy of the enemy. It is true that godly sorrow can bring a person to repentance, but the godly sorrow spoken in My Word has nothing to do with shame. Godly sorrow comes to you when you are grieved in your spirit because you know that what you have done is not according to My will. My will is that you give thanks in all things and for all things. When your focus is on Me and you remain in thanksgiving continually, the enemy will have no chance to put condemnation and shame upon you.
I came into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through Me might be saved.
The truth is that condemation and shame are never sent by Me to cause you to have godly sorrow. Condemnation and shame are instruments of the enemy to pull you down and to cause you to run from Me.
When you know how much I love you and focus on My love for you, those wicked weapons of shame and condemnation will not have a chance to overwhelm you. Know every day that I am pleased with you and that I love you unconditionally.
JOHN 3:17
