Made known to all

We all have secrets, some good, some not so. We recently gave Trish a surprise birthday party, which was mostly a secret. At least as much as a seven-year-old and a six-year-old can keep a secret. It is fun to do surprising things for folks; it lets them know that they are special.

There are other secrets, though, that eat us alive from the inside out, and we all probably have them. These are the secrets that we regret; things done that we wish we had never done; things said that we wish we had never said. We hope no one ever finds out; we pray that no one ever finds out.

Then, there are the secrets that we keep for the greater good. Maybe they are government secrets that you keep because of your service. Maybe they are secrets that you keep because of the confidence of a friend. Maybe they are secrets you keep to protect peace and harmony. These secrets are vital to keeping things working correctly and efficiently.

Finally, there are the things that we don't know; secret things that we hope to find out someday. JESUS, during His earthly ministry, talked about Heaven but there were not many finite details. We may wonder what we will do for all of eternity. Or, will we have a job in Heaven. Or, what the mansion looks like. There are lots of things we don't know. There is John's description in Revelations and there are others' speculations but no one knows for sure. I do know that I am looking forward to seeing it all. Aren't you?

Today's word is Luke 8:17, NLT, which reads, "For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all."

Be Blessed,
