What Are You Trying to Hide?
"For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light." - Luke 8:17
What are you trying to hide? Maybe it’s a past mistake, a weakness, a fear, or even a part of who you are that you think others won’t accept. It’s easy to believe that if people knew the real you, they might reject you. So, you keep it hidden, hoping the mask you wear will be enough to protect you.
But hiding doesn’t lead to freedom. The more you try to conceal, the more you feel trapped, carrying the weight of secrecy, fear, and shame. You may even begin to believe that the mask you’ve created is all you’re worth. Yet, God sees through the mask. He knows exactly what you’re trying to hide, and here’s the most incredible thing: He loves you anyway.
The world tells you to create an image of perfection, to cover your flaws, and to hide your struggles. But God calls you to something far greater. He invites you to let go of what you’re hiding and let your identity be found in Him. When you bring everything; your past, your insecurities, and your fears to Him, you’ll find that His love is big enough to handle it all.
You don’t have to be defined by what you’re hiding. God has an incredible purpose for your life, and He doesn’t need you to be perfect to fulfill it. In fact, it’s often through your weaknesses and struggles that His strength shines the brightest. When you let go of the fear of being exposed, you step into the freedom of being fully known and fully loved by the One who created you.
So, what are you trying to hide? Bring it into the light today. Trust God with it and let Him remind you that your worth isn’t in what you’ve done or what you fear. It’s in who He says you are. You were made for a purpose, and no secret or flaw can change that. Stop hiding, and step into the life God has prepared for you. It’s a life of freedom, purpose, and being fully known and fully loved.
