Don't hide it | Day in the life

 

Hello RCD readers,

Exposing your sins removes your guilt but also it removes the control it has on you. 

Sins

As a Christian we have list of sins we have to make sure not to do. It sounds weird to say it like that. But we are sinful in our own ways. And no sin is worst then the other as Jesus taught us. But we as human look down towards certain sins while other's we learned to come accustomed too. For instance we talk about murdering and adultery.  But gossiping is just as bad. Or what we sometimes do by accident " using the Lord's name in vain".

Hide our sins

The normal response is that because we are ashamed most of the time we hide our sins. We keep it to ourselves.  If nobody knows how can I feel the aftermath of my action. We all think. 

Hide our failures

We only show the good in our lives. Or our redemption story because we think when we've overcome it than it's worth talking about it. When we've fixed it. It is not ours to be ashamed off. 

We hide our own truths. We hide our real selfs for the world. We only show the good and shiny things.  The redemption story. The accomplishment. 

But what happens in this process.

We hurt ourselves. We put a sigma of we are wrong and don't really deserve the good we get. Because if we did believe that we deserve those things truly in our hearts. We would share the bad and the good with the people that care. We would not be afraid to be a testimony during the hard times. Not only when we've gone to the other side. Ofcourse I believe you have to know with who you share this with. But I also believe there is a certain level of strength you gain from owning your mistakes, your sins, your flaws, your failures. Nobody can't take your pride if you own your own truth in life. Take back control. Hiding gives that sin control over you.  Hiding gives the gossipers control over you. Hence I'm saying wear you flaws. I'm not saying don't change. During the healing. During the falling and standing up. Be truthful with your story. Be truthful with your testimony. Everything in the dark has an hold on you. May you finally set yourself free from that.

Have a blessed day. Don't let shame bring you down. Take back control.
