Secrets, they can bring extreme joy to your life or extreme pain. Which one is it for you or have you carried both?
Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
Secrets……
I’ve kept many secrets. Holding on to the secret of an upcoming child, of the celebration of a birthday party, of what Santa brought and many more that brought joy to my life and the lives of others. But I’ve also had secrets of hiding my sins and of painful memories. These secrets can eat away at our flesh, our soul and our joy. They will deteriorate the relationships you have with others and with God.
At times we are to keep secrets, things that will slander others and bring great harm.
Proverbs 11:13
Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
Secrets…….
They are simply part of our day to day life. But never are we to think that we are keeping secrets from God. He already knows without us uttering a sound. We are to rejoice with Him in our joyful secrets and we are to allow Him to heal our painful ones. For those secrets that could slander the reputation of others, He is also the one to share those with. He will give you wisdom on how to carry those so that the other will allow Him to heal them.
Secrets……..
They may have a purpose for a while but they are never to be kept hidden forever.
Luke 12:2
Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
Lord, thank You for being my safe place for all my secrets. Amen!

I share what I can with loved ones. The closest know more of my secrets…the ones I worry about judging me I keep in the dark. I think it is fitting that you shared that secrets are not to be hidden forever. 100% agree! There is a time our hearts and minds are open books, and they need to be to heal pain or give encouragement to others who may struggle with the same "secrets". Love to you!

There are some secrets that are to be kept…but, how true, we have no secrets from God! That is humbling but also so encouraging. He knows me completely – and love me still!

There are no secrets that we should keep from God, maybe the world. We have to speak it so we can release it. Healing won’t happen until we do.
