Shame has a way of trying to define us.
It whispers that we’re too broken.
Too stained.
Too far gone.
But the Word of God tells a different story.
It tells of a God who trades ashes for beauty.
Who takes our brokenness and offers blessing.
Who turns shame into honor.
Isaiah 61:7 promises:
"Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot."
At Declarations By Beyond the Aisle, our Instead of Your Shame a Double Portion T-shirt from the Those Who Dreamt collection was created as a powerful reminder:
God doesn’t just heal your wounds—He restores you beyond what you lost.
"God's Redemption Always Exceeds the Loss"
Maybe you’ve walked through a season where shame clung tightly.
Mistakes made.
Opportunities missed.
Dreams that crumbled.
But friend, the heart of God has always been restoration.
He doesn’t leave you in your brokenness.
He doesn’t define you by your worst chapters.
He steps in, covers you with His grace, and writes a better story.
A double portion isn’t about simply getting back what you lost—it’s about receiving more than you ever thought possible.
That’s the nature of His love:
Redemptive. Restorative. Abundant.
A Design That Speaks Restoration
The wheat design featured on this Christian T-shirt symbolizes the harvest that follows a season of loss.
Wheat that grows tall after a hard season.
Wheat that bends but doesn't break.
Wheat that speaks of provision, fulfillment, and joy.
Every time you wear the Instead of Your Shame a Double Portion tee, you’re declaring that your story is being rewritten by the hand of a faithful God.
Wear it on the days you need the reminder most.
Or gift it to someone who needs to hear:
"This isn’t the end of your story."
If You’re Ready for a New Beginning
Maybe shame has weighed heavy on your heart.
Maybe you’re ready for a fresh start—but don’t know where to begin.
You can start with Jesus.
He’s not looking for perfection—He's inviting you into a new story.
If you’re ready to say yes to Him, here’s a prayer you can pray:
Prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I believe You are the God who restores. I bring You my shame, my regrets, and my brokenness. I ask You to forgive me, heal me, and give me a new beginning. I receive Your love and Your promise of a double portion. Be my Lord and Savior. In Your name, Amen."
If you prayed that prayer, heaven is celebrating over you!
We encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can walk out this new story surrounded by a community of faith.
Your Story Isn’t Over
Where shame once lived, joy will take its place.
Where brokenness once defined you, restoration will now reign.
God’s promises are true—and your double portion is on the way.
Hold your head high.
You are being restored—beautifully and completely.
