" The secrets we have to tell are not just the cowering secrets that have closeted themselves in our innermost selves, but the childlike ones that are eager to throw open the front door and run out to play. Our sorrows are not the only secrets that we keep. Our joys are often kept carefully guarded, too, especially our joys about Jesus, who is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell."
I am really not sure what to say about this passage but "WOW." I love passages that really hit home and say it all in such a short amount of time. I love how the author makes it clear that we have many different secrets. I totally agree with these. I know that some of the recent struggles and heartaches that I have gone through have been kept secret. I also know that many of the joys I have experienced have also been kept secret.
I believe that a lot of this has to do with the fact that I am an introvert. I love being alone and I often keep to myself just because that is who I am. That is who God created me to be. I also know that God has used that in many different ways to minister to others and I am sure that there have been many times that he has used that quality about me when I did not even know about it.
I only hope that when those moments come in life where I have the chance to share Christ with others that I take it with confidence. I also hope that I would be effective in how I present Christ to others.
