Warriors, shame is the nemesis that plagues recovering people, and many of us are in the recovering stage. When we were children we learned to hide certain parts of ourselves. When these parts became overly dependent or independent, full of rage, too playful, too full of will, or too free, too curious, too spiritually knowing, or too imaginative they were rejected by those upon whom we relied to feed, clothe and protect us.

So what could we do but push them down?

That is why it is important to know and learn the Sacred Writings. Because as we deal with this inner child, we can replace the lies we have long believed with the truth of the Word of our Great Chief and Captain! It is then we can also receive healing from Holy Spirit along with forgiveness for any wrongs we actually committed. This is the path toward restoration.
