I feel like American Christianity is centered around shame and not love. Discussion
I'm not saying don't repent and there's certainly are people who need to feel more guilt about their actions.
Imagine if your friend says they forgive you five times you won't actually feel forgiven because they keep bringing it up. Although I think it's important to recognize where we make mistakes people try so hard to focus on not making mistakes that I feel like they forget to love and be kind. And I feel like a lot of people logically believe that they're forgiven but don't internally believe that they're forgiven if that makes sense. Like don't let your shortcomings prevent you from doing love.
