Shame-Blame Cycle

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.

So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.

Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.
