32. Ending Shame

Have you ever seen a toddler running around naked and laughing after taking a bath? Children are born without shame. God created our sexual organs as the most precious and sacred part of our bodies. He wants us to maintain that innocence as we grow up and eventually marry. The act of lovemaking is meant to be the most beautiful, intimate, and joyful expression of love between husband and wife. However, the messages we receive from our parents, schools, and entertainment often portray a distorted version of sex. Our sexual behaviors and beliefs have been influenced by what we’ve learned as children. The shame we’ve developed can block us from true sexual intimacy with our spouse. We may become frustrated, not knowing what to do about it. True Father guides us to be free of shame so we can proudly embrace our sexuality in the way God intended.
