How to Defeat Guilt and Shame

 Hey it’s from Don and Dawn at Memory Delight .

Jackie Robinson was the first black person to play major league baseball.

Breaking baseball’s color barrier, he faced jeering crowds in every stadium.

Players would stomp on his feet and kick him.

While playing one day in his home stadium in Brooklyn, he made an error. The fans began to ridicule him. He stood at second base, humiliated, while the fans jeered.

Then, shortstop Pee Wee Reese came over and stood next to him.

He put his arm around Jackie Robinson and faced the crowd.

The fans grew quiet.

Robinson later said that arm around his shoulder saved his career.

We are sometimes like Jackie Robinson, full of shame.

Sometimes, like Jackie, our shame is from nothing we've done.

Sometimes our shame is from our own sin and guilt.

And like Pee Wee Reese, Jesus comes and slips his arm around us, and bears our shame for us.

The best thing is, we can easily feel God’s presence simply by meditating Bible verses.

And scripture memorization can be fun…

I once heard the story about a wealthy man who had no need for pocket change...

...yet he still took the time to bend over and pick up lost pennies and other coins.

Whenever the man found a coin he would stop look at it in his hand, then after standing quietly for a moment, he would then put the coin in his pocket and continue walking.

He was once asked about his unusual habit...

"Why does a man who has no need for money stand still as though he had just found a gold coin?"

The man replied, "When I find a coin I look at the words, 'In God We Trust,' and I can hear God asking me, 'Do you still trust me?' Once I'm certain that I still trust God more than money I can continue with my day."

Perhaps we should take the time to hear God ask us the same question, "Do you still trust Me; am I still first in your life?"
