    About this ebook

    In a world misguided by shame, it is important to know that life can be better and that everyone is entitled to live a life of abundance. In her guidebook Gods Love for the Shameful, Beverly Wiebe offers hope for others that life is not fruitless and that all of us have value, through the love of God.

    Through sharing her personal experiences of how God has worked in her own life and referencing applicable scriptures, Wiebe illustrates how shame can control our livesif we allow it. While encouraging spiritual seekers to walk in freedom through the glory of Jesus Christ, Wiebe offers tidbits of wisdom that teach others how to move away from the past, overcome the negative feelings that accompany failure, and realize that God always keeps His promises.

    None of us are on this earth just to exist. Gods Love for the Shameful shares the inspirational story of how one woman slowly came to realize that every individual is capable of claiming an abundant lifethrough the warmth and transformative power of the Lord.

      Introduction

      From my heart to yours I am delighted to tell you how the love of God has transformed me. This book is written to inspire and motivate one whom wants to live a life of freedom. The challenges, frustration and failures of life can be overwhelming and confusing. This book is to to help you understand who you truly are through Gods love. There is power in the word of God. I have included many scriptures from the NIV translation Bible. It is through the word of God that has brought a transformation into my life.

      I struggled through school, trying to find my path in life. Wanting to be with the in crowd. I found myself looking in all the wrong places for my happiness. Weekend parties and hanging out at bars is where I found it easy to release the stresses of life. At the time I did not see the path of disaster that I was creating for myself.

      Divorced at the age of twenty two, looking for a new place to call home with no career.

      The fears and doubts of who I was overwhelmed me. Questions of Who am I and Where is God? I let my shameful experiences lead me into a deep depression that kept me locked in a dark place.

      One night as I was crying myself to sleep, an overwhelming sensation of bright light consumed the room. The light gave off an overpowering knowledge that I was loved. Through the warm sensation of this light came knowledge that I was going to be ok. The shadows of darkness within me were being cleansed. The light was peaceful. The light had overpowered the darkness within. I wanted the warmth and security of the light to stay. I knew that this experience was God. I wanted to know how to keep this very experience of God alive.

      Within the next two years of searching for God, and his presence in my life, I was able to trust again.

      Remarried in June of 1997 to my husband Garry. After, the birth of our first son in 1999, I woke up one morning with the overpowering sensation to write a book and to name it Gods Love for The Shameful.

      I spoke of it to my husband that morning. I dismissed the idea. I struggled with the fact that I was not good enough to write a book. I allowed the shameful experiences in my life to dictate to me once again of my self worth. I realized that I was allowing my imperfections stop me from living a life I was intended to have from the very beginning.

      My son now thirteen, and the thought of Gods whisper to write this book had been with me all these years. I rejected Gods Love, and instead became more shameful.

      I discovered the love of God from letting go of my shame, and not allowing it to dictate to me anymore. I was choosing to hang on to the shame of all my past failures.

      When I chose to let Gods love in the most amazing transformation took place. Gods love overpowered the shame that overwhelmed me. Gods love allowed me to choose life, instead of allowing life to happen to me. Gods love is the path to true freedom.

      Gods love is the key that has opened up the door to the Kingdom of Heaven.

      Gods love has blessed me in my marriage, my work, my finances and my friendships. I have never looked back. I now carry the key to life.

      The Glory belongs to our Father in Heaven. Amen.

      Truth

      Jesus said to the people who believed in him, You are truly my disciples if you keep obeying my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32

      The pain that people go through is brought on by their own choices, I realized I was allowing my own choices to destroy me. I was letting my past, and the experiences in my life dictate to me who I was. I also realized that I was not alone, there are so many of us hurting in our world and are living a life of ignorance. Another way to put it lost in a matrix.

      I realized that I was getting stronger when I awakened myself to the truth. I was lost in the thoughts that consumed me from living a good life. I was suffering in all that I do. The choices I make now, are affecting my tomorrow. The dominant thoughts that I have are shaping my life. I wanted understanding in all of this, and chose to let my new life begin. I found Gods love for the shameful.

      The definition of freedom is different for all of us. Every time I would think of freedom, I was bombarded by thoughts of how hard it is to find or impossible to have. I became frustrated with reality. Freedom was so far away.

      I discovered that freedom comes from within. It is our thoughts that keep us from the freedom
