The Secret: Would you like to know it?

April 28, 2017

The SecretThe Secret

I am horrible with surprises and awful with secrets. I have no patience with these types of things. I just love sharing.

As soon as I get a present, I can’t wait to share it with others. When I know a secret. I sit in agony, anxiously looking forward to seeing the look on the face of those who will soon hear it.

You can ask my wife about how true this is. She has recieved several “early” birthday or Christmas gifts and knows as well as anyone how much I enjoy sharing something truly wonderful with others.

Yet, I know a secret. It involves something that has happened, something that is happening and something that is going to happen.

I don’t stop to tell anyone about this barely ever. I keep this secret and sometimes think about how big a surprise it will be to the uninformed.

This secret is The Secret to having a peace in your heart that does not make sense. It is The Secret to power and riches the likes this world has never seen. It is The Secret to freedom from slavery and bondage. It is The Secret to having a past worth remembering, a present filled with contentment and a future filled with total joy and satisfaction.

I am so happy to know this secret and don’t really remember what it was like not knowing about this. I can’t begin to understand how anyone would want to live without understanding this mystery.

So I sit smugly in silence with this secret satisfied that it has changed me and indeed saved me and I hope that others around me discover it as well.

And yet I take this secret and keep it mine. It is my secret and I seldom share it with anyone.

I wonder if I will have any regret on the day of the big reveal, when everyone else everywhere hears this secret, some for the very first time. I wonder if anyone will look at me with sadness in their eyes and ask me why I never told them about it. I wonder if I will look at them with sadness and say I thought you knew or if I will be forced to admit, that I just didn’t take the time to share even when I knew I should have.

Father, thank you for grace so glorious.

To the reader,
If this secret isn’t obvious to you and you would like to know more, then by all means, please reach out to me. However, if this secret is obvious to you, don’t keep the Secret.

26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.  27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
