"I didn't cause it. I can't change it. I can't control it."--but we can't help but wonder:
When will everyone start telling the truth? Is staying in FEAR stronger than the need for obtaining peace? Pain, suffering and agony are the only the result from betrayal and lies. We are only for the journey toward truth and healing and healing and truth. We can not have one without the other. Secrets and lies trying to be kept a secret is like trying to hold a ball under water. We struggle and struggle to keep the truth out of site but eventually the ball pops up out of the water for all to see. It's time to walk through a new door....
Today we ponder the poem below:
Sick As Secrets
byVirjinja
You're only as sick as your secrets
The things you keep inside
The stories so awful, so hurtful ~ YOU think
The ones you choose to hide
The feelings you wall off and keep at bay
The past you regret each and every day
The memories you wish would never be
The stuff you hope no one ever sees
You're only as sick as your secrets
The longer you hide them you'll find
They'll rob you of joy and sanity
They'll drive you right out of your mind
They'll keep you from living life to the full
They'll tug at your heart, push and pull
You apart ~ like a puzzle, piece by piece
Turning others away 'cause your thinkin' stinks
You're only as sick as your secrets
And make no mistake, my friend
When you dig them up and throw them away
Your heart will unburden and in the end
You'll be free of guilt, shame and false pride
The Lord will protect you and give new life
You're only as sick as your secrets
Aren't you tired of being sick?
Then turn them over to God right now
Do it this moment... hurry, be quick
He already knows everything you hide
He's just waiting for you to stop living the lie
That your secrets define you ~ that they're who you are
That's the work of the devil and it's so far
From the Truth ~ give it up and throw it away
Walk in the Light... today is the day
You're no longer sick ~ you've no secrets to hide
Give it to God... there's the key to life
Yes, you're only as sick as your secrets
But that's not you...anymore.
Today we give thanks. Our hearts and lives have been laid bare and vulnerable to the pursuit of God's truth. We are thankful that what the devil has meant for evil God can turn for good. We still believe that God can do miracles for justice and truth and healing and restoration.
"I didn't cause it. I can't change it. I can't control it."-- I guess the rest is not my business to know right now!
