Psalm 25
No one likes feeling ashamed... so everyone
tries to deal with it. Some try by eliminating the stigma associated with
shameful behaviors. They call sin by safer names like "normal," or
"instinct," or "personal preference." Others do so by
acknowledging their sins and seeking salvation. I can chase away shame by trying
to convince myself that I was not sinful in my youth or I can acknowledge the
full weight of my youthful sin by seeking the face of a gracious God by faith. In Christ I see my guilt as greater than I did
before, but I also see my God as more gracious than I ever imagined.
