Secret

Several weeks ago, maybe even a month or so ago, some of my schoolmates stood on stage in chapel in front of hundreds of students and told some of their biggest secrets. Ever since I've been feeling compelled to be as open, and share my secrets. I took some time to think about what might be my biggest, deepest secret; of course, that didn't take too long to sort out. My only problem is vocalizing it, and let me tell you it's a lot easier said than done (no pun intended).
You try it. Think: what is your biggest secret or something sinful that you struggle with. Now, think about trying to tell a friend about it. ...now, think about telling a group of friends about it. ...now, think about standing on a stage with a microphone and telling it to a couple thousand of classmates. I don't know about you but that is definitely, totally and completely intimidating to me. I find it difficult just trying to get the guts/courage to tell one person my secret, let alone a whole congregation.

One of my secrets:
Sometimes I would think when God made me, He made a mistake. I use to think my worth wasn't even that of a mustard seed. I would often think I couldn't do anything right, I was a screw-up, a failure and I royally sucked at life. Now, I understand that when God created me, He created a masterpiece. :) I know that my worth is so much that God gave his one and only son to die for me, and I see that it's in my weaknesses and my imperfections that Christ is perfect.
Can I get an Amen?....Amen! :))

I encourage you to take some time to reflect and think about what is your biggest secret, weakness, or struggle with sin. Would you be willing to tell one person? Several people? A couple hundred people?
What does your secret/weakness/sin mean to you?

My prayer for you this week is that you experience peace and forgiveness in Christ :)) xoxo
