Sometimes the truth that we are children of God is overshadowed by our experiences, past relationships and the beliefs we develop throughout life. It is important that we spend time exploring whether our identity beliefs are true. 

It is important to be aware of how we are speaking to the people that we value.

This plan helps us transition from being focused on our immediate desires to being focused on God’s eternal plan for love.

I'm in it for the long haul with Jesus on this. I'm going to live free of shame, but I know it won't happen over night.  I'm practicing new ways of thinking and new ways of resting in the gospel, it's yielding different behavior.  But like with all new habits it's going to take awhile of that to become the new normal.
