When you suffer a tragedy it’s easy to want to connect some spiritual meaning to it. But be careful not to over spiritualize a tragedy.

This is part three in a four part series on Deep Hurt, Deep Healing looking at how to overcome the pain of shame. In this post F. Remy Diederich looks at how God’s love and forgiveness starts the deep healing process.

In our broken world we live in a tension between God’s love and suffering. How do we reconcile the two? Jesus’ life gives us some understanding.

Your sin and failure can seem so overwhelming that you may believe you are beyond hope. But God’s forgiveness is so thorough that he sees you as perfect in his eyes. How is this possible?

Do you struggle trying to experience or believe in God’s love for you? Despite what you believe about God’s love, your shame might be blocking you from experiencing God’s love.

There is an answer to our fears of feeling insignificant and it comes from knowing the profound love of God.
