when we let others into our problems
and our hurts and our pains and our sins amazing benefits take place in our
lives. when i share my hidden secrets
with another person, first of all its liberating.
JESUS said, “when you know the truth the truth sets you free.” now anytime someone said to me, “i’ve never told this to anybody but i’m going to tell this to you. you’re my pastor.” i filled up with hope on the inside. i knew that person was about to experience freedom.
the moment you share your secret sin with somebody else it starts weakening the grip on your life by the second, instantly. all of a sudden that grip that’s got you by the jugular and that guilt that’s got you all tied up, it starts weakening instantly.
you haven’t done anything about it. but by simply sharing it with another person it starts making it easier. when you talk about it, the grip is broken on your life. it’s liberating. it’s setting you free.
you see, hiding a hurt only intensifies it. when we wear a mask it makes us miserable. we spend all this emotional energy trying to pretend we’re something we’re not. it feels good once you’ve done it. it’s liberating because it’s your secrets that make you sick. all of a sudden the pressure starts to dissipate when you’ve told one other person about the thing that you’ve never told anybody about.
just a thought from the front porch…
