I think the secret of life is to forget about secrets.
Every secret we keep, every thought that nests in our minds untold, every whispered word between friends or enemies, every act that has shaken or shocked us, we tell no one. We walk around holding them in, never revealing them, almost like they’re not there. But every last one of those glows like bright red neon lights before the eyes of God. The secret things are as bright as the obvious things to our Lord. Jesus said every secret thing will be made open - that’s God’s perspective. And He sees them all right now.
You want to make something plain to God? Feel it, then think it, then bury it deep in your heart. Let the days and years press it down into the soil of your heart, never telling anyone. It’s away from the eyes and ears of other people, inside the center of you. But God’s eyes probe down there and can see who you are.
No, secrets really aren’t. There are no such thing as secrets. Just things briefly hidden from people.
I think the “secret” of life is to realize that - and live your life, every second and minute, with every action, acknowledging that God, the source of our life and any joy we have, sees all. God knows us. We can’t hide anything from Him. Will that affect what I do “in secret”?
All that you pleasure in or suffer through that no one else sees, God sees - He really does.
You made me feel guilty.
Yes I have secrets but at the same time they are not cause they’re no one’s business. But I see your point.
