Many of us keep secrets...secrets of what lies within our minds...our hearts...our souls...the secret may start out very small...like a tiny growth...
Allowing a secret sin to develop over a period of time will block our view of how we are to see Jesus and live for Jesus. I have no idea how long my brain tumor has been lodged just back above my sinuses, but I do know that it has affected my sense of smell on the left side.It could also cause issues with my optic nerves if it grows. The outside of my head looks normal. There are no changes in my facial features...no changes in motor skills...no changes in reactions to things. Inside, a still small growth had begun. I have no idea when it began. It was secret. The tumor nestled in to a bit of bone and remained "quiet" for a period of time.
Our lives and reactions to things can seem to remain the same all the while we hide our secret sin. It will affect areas of our lives, but often no one else may know as no one knew my sense of smell was not what it should be due to the tumor resting on part of my senses.The "secret sin" of the tumor was discovered "by chance" due to my hitting my head on a desk and needing for the pain to be checked out. Had I not hit my head and received a CT scan, I'd have never have found the "secret" of having a foreign object in my head. Secret sins don't remain secrets forever.
As the tumor was discovered, so eventually will a secret sin be. We need to choose to remove it. We need to come before Jesus in all sincerity seeking His forgiveness truly wanting to remove the sin from our life.
Singing once again, "Lord I give you my heart, I give you my soul, I live for you alone..." Pray to Jesus to remove that secret sin. Allowed to grow, it will cause problems for the things in your life that are supposed to be there. "Foreign objects" must be removed in order for us to be "whole" again. Choose to be whole in Jesus!
