Shame: feeling unworthy

Psalm 119:32 O, Lord do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your Commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart. Have you been struggling with a deep inner response to the potential for, or the actual experience for being exposed as deficient or unworthy in another eyes? The word "shame" is closely related to "mortified" which is derived form a French word meaning death. Shame is the experience of profound embarrassment, a feeling of wanting to "curl up and die" on the inside.  Understanding your shame leads to a richer appreciation for the work of Christ.
