Document Summary
Ex: god, family, friends, job but instead of a list, see that all have equal value and all should reflect god. Most of the evil in the world is because someone was selfish and was not reflecting the image of god. All of humanity wants to be seen naked and unashamed just as they are. The greatest enemy is not the devil but yourself. If you think you already know, you"ll never know; be open. The bible is not written to you but for you. Shame is the natural consequence of a fallen world. Guilt is saying i made a bad mistake. Guilt is saying that there is no room for growth. Guilt is saying i am allowed to make mistakes. Guilt is saying i am not afraid of losing relationships. Guilt is having a mature sense of identity. Let god talk to you in a way that you understand. Allow god to bring your past to the surface.
