No Secrets

"Commit yor way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your rightousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." Psalm 27:5-6

We are trying to enter into a relationship with God, and as is true with any relationship, we must bring a vulnerable openness to it. We cannot partition off from Him certain frustrations or disappointments, our happy plans for the evening or our schedule for the workweek ahead. We are our ideas and thoughts, hopes, ambitions, feelings and dreams. To begin a relationship and allow it to deepen, each of these aspects of our life must not be hidden, but be ready to be presented to God.

This open sense of sharing is another way of saying that we truly trust God. We are not afraid to rely upon Him. We do so willingly, with no hidden secrets. With such tust, we till the soil of our soul for devotion.
