Real Life预览

We all have things in our lives that we’d rather keep hidden. There are things in our past that we hope no one finds out about, a bad habit that keeps us from fully living the life we want to live, or even some confusion toward things that we thought were certain. Not only do we want that stuff to stay hidden, but we often end up compromising who we are and who we want to be to keep those secrets safe. We end up lying to our friends and family, creating stories that only put us in the best light, or even avoiding situations where we may feel compelled to be honest about what we’re trying to hide. All of this effort to keep things in the dark is just exhausting, right? This is not the authentic, real life we’re called to live.

As Christians, we know that not only is our God light, but our God knows all things. God knows what we’re trying to keep hidden in the darkness. And more than that, we are called to live a life of freedom with Him. We’re called to share it all with Him without fear. Because when we bring our secrets into God’s light, there is freedom, healing, and forgiveness to be found. There is real life waiting on the other side!

What is something that you’ve been trying to keep hidden? What are some ways that you could invite Jesus to help shine a light on those things to feel free?
