Hide and seek is a great children’s game, but it is a dangerous and deadly spiritual game.
“For nothing is hidden that will not become evident; nor anything secret that will not be known and come out into the open.” -Luke 8:17 Amp.
If you area follower of Christ don’t hide your loyalty and commitment to Him. When you have guests in your house, you don’t hide the lamp so they can’t find their way around your house in the dark. If your friends are lost in spiritual darkness why would you hide God’s light from the . Do you want them to stumble around in spiritual darkness?
One thing I’ve learned in life is that God sees and hears everything, and He’s not their to snoop, spy, or try and catch you doing something wrong. He’s there to strengthen, encourage, and bless . Wherever Ge goes He brings light. Hidden things are exposed. So if we let His light penetrate deep inside of us in our hidden places He will drive out the darkness (John 3:18-21).
My entire life I felt as though I had to hidden things from others, and evidently myself. All the family secrets, all the things I’ve seen and be through, from doctors, from friends, and some from people who I called family.
If you try to keep things hidden away in the dark corners of your spirit, little by little you will lose what light you have. (Matthew 6:23). Even if you drive the light from most your heart, sooner or later, everything in your heart will be revealed. (Matthew 10:26-33).
For years I kept things hidden in my heart, all the darkness, until all I knew was darkness. I felt I was this horrible, weak, pathetic person. I deserved to suffer. Until one day, it was as if I woke up from a coma. I decided I couldn’t live that way anymore. I realized I was killing myself and those who were closest to me.
I went through all the right motions, and said all the right things. I went to church every week, took care of my husband and children, but I was dead inside. It wasn’t until I complete stranger prayed over me, that I realized that there was only One who could help me find the truth by shining a light in all the dark places. And that I was shutting Him out along with everyone else around me.
He was there to help me make sense of all the chaos, I silently fought to shove down deeper and deeper into my soul. He was the spirit of truth -He was God. He was the One who lit up all the dark places and exposed the truth and errors in my life.
It wasn’t until I knew this deep down in my soul, that I began to heal. I had a long painful road ahead of me. But, I was finally able to let some of the darkness out, and slowly but surely it became easier as time went by. I shed a billion tears. I shed all the pain, I had felt over the years.
But, all the pain and and tears were well worth it to finally start living again. To finally become a whole person that I was meant to be. I finally after 13 years began to talk to my sister again. That I thought just deserted me, and ran for the hills. Each of us not knowing what happened to each other.
There were so many secrets which should have come to light long ago. Yet, we were both to busy hiding in the darkness. That God seen it all along.
