SHAME VS. HUMILITY
Shame chains you
Humility changes you

Shame looks down
Humility looks up

Shame says, “I’m ruined.”
Humility says, “I’m redeemable.”

Shame hides
Humility kneels

Shame is self-punishment
Humility is self-surrender

Joel 2:13- “Don’t tear your clothing in grief, but tear your hearts instead.
Return to the Lord your God, for He is merciful and compassionate, slow to
get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.”
