Today if you are finding certain memories coming alive in you that you would rather forget and pretend did not happen, bringing with them feelings of shame and guilt, do not be discouraged. The Lord is bringing you closer to Him, so that He might take you to greater things.
I have been dealing with things in you bit by bit, says the Lord. I have been peeling away those outer layers that I may reveal the beauty that is within. So now you can feel exposed~~~exposed and vunerable. Everything that has been hidden has now been revealed and you feel ashamed.
Have I not revealed these things in you, to wipe away the pain and the shame? For they have been causing silent pain~~slowly becoming more infected. Now I have pulled it out so that I may wash you from guilt and the dirt you feel inside.
As you draw to me, so will those things of your past fall away. As my light shines through you exposing the dark patches long forgotten, so may I help you deal with them and place them behind you. For indeed I see you as perfect and pure. Hold onto my hand. Hold onto my grace, I am here to help you through this~~~not to make you feel lost and humiliated. So hold onto me tight for I will take these things from you and burn them as dross in the fire~~destroying them forever.
So give them to me now in humility and weakness that I might repair and replace~~causing you to shine forth in love and power, using the unhindred fire in you now, to consume the dross in others, setting them free to shine forth as well.
The Lord is there right now to take away all your failures and shame of the past. Let Him reach in there so that you might shine forth with nothing blocking His Light~~~that way you might use that light to shine through to others, so that they too can be set free.
God Bless you,
Mary Keltner
