Do you think you can hide?
Who knows about your lie? Saying you are fine when you have a lot of trouble and problem in which you don't find any help at all.
Who knows about your lust? Looking to other people as a sexual object with the ends to gratify your selfish pleasures.
Who knows about your slandering? Speaking bad about others, without knowing the whole story, or not fully understanding them. But speaking out of assumptions or personal high standards in which you see others but you are not able to see yourself.
Who knows about your fear of man? Speaking things in a political correct manner to not offend anyone, even though you can save their souls. Making your best to please people, wasting energy to find anything that they may like to accommodate your character to it.
Who knows about your racism? Looking at others with prejudice because of their skin color, feeling superior, thinking that you are not racist, but your wouldn't want your kids to date or marry people of another skin color. You excuse it by saying that "its a different culture." but, really is it?
Who knows about your adultery? Fantasizing what would be if you could be with other people without anyone finding about it. Your excuse is your lack of attention, or not feeling loved, when in reality is just about you, and what you want.
Who knows about legalism? looking others down because you have high standards, or because they disagree with you, maybe if they would follow your rules they could be better christians. Demeaning the work of Christ and the freedom that is in Him to live in holiness.
Who knows about your greediness? Wanting to have more and more, never satisfied, being consumed with the thought of what would be if I had more. Blessing others is not a possibility because it would mean that you would have less.
I could go on and on, there is a lot of things we hide, because we are good at hiding, we want people to think that we are fine and respectable. We can beautify our outward appearance but the smell of our rotten inside will always come out. Doesn't matter how pretty we think we are, we stink, our sin stinks, our self-righteousness stink.
But you wanna know who knows about your rotten inward being? God knows, He does knows, He sees it, He is the witness of every sin you have contemplated or done in the dark. And He wants us to be aware of Him, of His presence, of His love, of His Justice and of His son. He loves you, He truly loves you in such way that He doesn't want you to be the same, He wants you to come to His son.
Yes, we can sin in the dark but there is nothing secret because God always knows. Repent, Believe, leave your sin, Jesus loves you.
