Guilt vs Shame

Guilt and shame are often used interchangeably, yet they are two very different emotions:

“Guilt is a feeling you get when you did something wrong, or perceived you did something wrong. Shame is a feeling that your whole self is wrong, and it may not be related to a specific behavior or event”

Guilt can be a good that leads us to regret, repair, and reconciliation,  often sending us into the arms of Christ, while shame is often accompanied with darkness and a disposition that turns our hearts away from God. 

I hope this episode encouraged you and gave you the hope to continue to turn your heart to our most perfect God!
