7.22- Secrets are tiring and destructive.

 7.22- Secrets are tiring and destructive. We go to such extents to hide our deepest issues.  It pushes us to play games and not be genuine.  King David was not a good example of how to live.  He did many things wrong, outrageous.  But he did the right thing to make it right with honesty with God and HIs fellowman.  It cost him dearly.  The consequences had to be faced, but he asked God to examine him and then wrote of the relief and joy. Psalm 139 Psalm 139 New International Version Psalm 139 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. 1  You have searched me,  Lord ,      and you know me. 2  You know when I sit and when I rise;      you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3  You discern my going out and my lying down;      you are familiar with all my ways. 4  Before a word is on my tongue      you,  Lord , know it completely. 5...

 5.19- Pretending. Jesus hates the behavior of pretenders, but he loves pretenders. When we pretend we are spiritually strong when in reality we are weak. When we are pretending to be healthy, we don't really open ourselves to Dr. Jesus for deep, soul level surgery. When we are the strongest is when know we are weak in ourselves and must rely on God. That's one of the reasons God doesn't like faking, pretension and hypocrisy. It delays our deep heart level healing. 2 Corinthians 12 Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.   8  Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.   9  But he said to me,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.   10  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight...
