ne Parson’s Opinion
Most of us have been deeply hurt by shame. We have been shamed by parents, and/or siblings, and/or peers, and/or fellow Christians, and/or pastors.
Shame differs from guilt. Guilt is what we feel because of our behavior. Shame is deeper. It addresses our worth as persons. Shamed people feel worthless, and suffer from a low self-esteem or negative self-concept. The shamed person feels defective, inadequate, unlovable and undeserving.
A person who is operating from a shame-based identity says to himself things like this:
- “I made a mistake therefore I am worthless.”
- “I spilt my milk therefore I am clumsy.”
- “My children misbehave therefore I am a lousy parent.”
I could go on and on with examples.
But let me now try to help.
If I spill my milk it does not mean I am clumsy. It means I spilt my milk.
If someone disagrees with me it does not mean I am less of a person, it means they disagreed with me.
If I make a mistake it means I made a mistake.
You see, the shamed person wants to assign to himself an identity based on his behavior. But that is not the place to get our identity.
As Christians, our identity comes from what God says about who we are, not from what we may feel about ourselves or our performance.
