Shame usually follows a pattern—a cycle of self-recrimination and lies that claims life after life. First, we experience an intensely painful event.

And finally, our feelings of shame trap us into thinking that we can never recover—that, in fact, we don’t even deserve to. — Craig Groeschel

Perhaps the sexual life is the great test. If we can survive it with charity to those we love and with affection to those we have betrayed, we needn't worry so much about the good and the bad in us.
