How right she is! I must admit that for about 5-6 years of my life I successfully blocked out shame. However, it's back...and God certainly uses that painful emotion.
I do think, though, that people can be made to feel shame when they don't deserve to...abusive parents, for example, can cause their children to feel ashamed of something they can't control. It's a balance, just like (nearly) everything else in this world.
Ouch. It's convicting as well as thought-provoking.
