Hidden Faults
The myrtle plant is small. Its flowers appear insignificant, and so do its leaves. But its flowers are really very beautiful, pure white, exquisite under a lens, and of a delicate scent. Its leaves hold a secret. Look through them, and you see numbers of small crystal balls; they look like pinpricks in the leaf. Each of these is a little vase of aromatic perfume. Crush the leaf, and you will find how sweet it is.
Within each one of us is what the Bible calls “the hidden man of the heart” (1 Pet. 3:4). A glance does not show it, just as a glance does not show what is in the myrtle leaves. But the moment we are carefully regarded, above all when we are tried in any way (crushed as we crush the myrtle leaf), that moment what is there is known. There is no possible way of deception. Courage or cowardice, truth or falsehood, kindness or selfishness, strength or weakness, it is known, and we are known for what we really are.
How we need to pray David’s prayer in Psalm 19!
