Shame and Grace

Lewis Smedes, a professor in Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary wrote "Guilt was not my problem as I felt it. What I felt most was a glob of unworthiness that I could not tie down to any concrete sins I was guilty of. What I needed more than pardon was a sense that God accepted me, owned me, held me, affirmed me, and would never let go of me even if he was not to much impressed with what he had on his hands." - Shame and Grace.
