The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Luke 12:2-3, “’But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed,

and hidden that will not be known. 3 Accordingly, whatever you have said

in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the

inner rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.’”

Did you ever have a secret? “Don’t tell anyone; it’s a secret.” We’ve all

had secrets. We may have some now –at least, some that we think are

secret. My mother was a genius at learning secrets! She could worm

anything out of anyone. I never saw the like. “How did you know?” I

used to say. Her answer was always, “A little bird told me.” She never

said, but I figured that she got that from Ecclesiastes 10:20. It says…

well, you can read it for yourself.

Here in our verses above, Jesus says there is no such thing as a something

unknown. Everything will ultimately be revealed. Things done in the darkness

will be brought into the light. God knows everything now! Does that not

embarrass us, knowing that He knows even those deep-seated “secrets” of

our hearts? Oh, it should! Furthermore, there is the coming Judgment Seat

of Christ, where we will stand as saved believers before Almighty God and be

forced to give account of those things we thought and did in secret. Wow!

Will that be an embarrassing event, or what?!! However, when we confess

those things to God and truly repent of them, He forgives us and we are no

longer held accountable. But, we must not return to the same evil!

We pray for you; pray for us. We are all subject to the same temptations.

And if we are seeking to hide “secrets,” how can we expect God to answer

our prayers?

Love and prayers,
