Finding Unveiled Freedom

Many of us go through life covering ourselves with a veil to hide some piece of ourselves that may be shameful or too traumatic to share. Lifting this veil that has become a barrier to you and God is the first step to overcoming shame. You need to lift this veil and reveal your flaws, weaknesses, and insecurities, and you will see that when you show the true nature of who you are to the Lord, he still has a plan for you. God can still use you despite your shortcomings, flaws, and all that you have been through.

What is shame?

Shame is a Silent, hurtful, and misleading emotion.

Shame is a combination of what we keep inside ourselves. When we hold in negative emotions and thoughts of being unworthy, we build shame into our very being. This shame can lead to sickness and manifest into physical symptoms in our bodies, to the point that our shame is destroying us from the inside out.

Finding the Genesis and overcoming shame by facing it head-on

Shame often doesn't happen from a single event, even though the event can magnify the shame. It is important to find your Genesis. Where did the beginnings of shame start with you? Part of overcoming shame is to face it head-on at the root of where it began so that you can find forgiveness, close the door to that event, and move forward.
