Recently I have had people do very generous things for me...open up their homes, feed me, take me on trips, and give me gifts. Things that I have always done for others. And its been so hard for me to let them.
I love to give and I'm used to being able to do these things for other people and I am having to learn to receive.....and as I thought about why it's so difficult for me I realized I was dealing with shame. That I was ashamed of being divorced again and of not being more financially stable.
Ashamed for others that have seen ME give and do those things for other people, to know that I was struggling.
This morning my Daddy in heaven reminded me that it is His promise to give back to us and that He is blessing me and that there is no shame in being His child. He not only gives back financially, but anything we give others-our time, resources, attention, love, encouragement- he gives back to us.
I will not walk in shame any longer. I am blessed and thankful!
