Many of our negative emotions are actually rooted in fear and shame. We all have different coping strategies to deal with our emotional pain. In the beginning God created everything and finally Adam and Eve. All creation was very good . Garden of Eden was a place of beauty and there was a wonderful community of three people . Without any shame or fear( Genesis 2:25) they had a perfect and satisfying relationship. After believing the lies of Satan fear and shame entered into their lives.( Genesis 3:7-10). Response to fear and shame is covering and hiding. Disconnecting ourselves from God and others. God doesn't want to leave us in the place of fear and shame but want to cover us with his grace( Genesis 3:21). The story of the lost son reminds the same thing.( Luke 15:20-24) . Father wanted to give honor,dignity and value to his son when he felt unworthy. God wants to have fellowship with us and cover us with his everlasting grace and that's why he sent his one and only son Jesus into this world. ( John 1:14) Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ ( John 1:17). When grace and truth take control of our lives we move to a new place of security and a wonderful relationship with God and with one another. The impact of shame and fear may last long if we don't detect and deal with it. When we bring it into light and embrace grace and truth we experience true freedom,peace,joy and intimate relationships. I have my own battle of fear and shame which I am confronting with the truth in the Bible and I want to be secure in his grace( 2 Corinthians 12:9).God's power is made perfect in my weaknesses. We can all be faithful stewards of his grace.(1 Peter 4:10)
