Go and sin no more.

Shame.
I am shameful in all I am.
Nakedness and sin, destroying the God I hold true.
Selfish.
I am selfish in all I do.
Lust and greed, the path of righteousness only holds few.
Wicked.
I am wicked in all my plans.
Lies and deciept, pretending I have it all figured out.

Truth.
"Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin."-Jesus says this in John 8.
The woman was an adultress, caught in the act.
She was taken, in all of her nakedness and sin in front of a crowd of people, and Jesus.
Embarrassed and ashamed.
I know that shame.
But Jesus took the woman and told her that he has not condemned her.
Freedom. Freedom from her shame. Freedom from her sin.
Grace.
I am writing to be honest. If I hide this, I am only lying to you, whoever you may be reading this.
I have messed up.
I have let my selfishness take my purity. Not just once.
But the God who I sinned against has not condemned me, but set me free. Go and sin no more.
