Does a shiver of fear run up your spine if I remind you there is "no guarantee" and much "appropriate risk" in revealing our private/personal secret lives to others? Of course, you don't know what exposure could do. Maybe you feel you just can't face any more hurt.
Believe me, I most certainly understand. But we must be transparent, open, bold & blunt in our honesty if we are to help others to recover from the dark addictive world of perversion, addictions, vices & strongholds.
There is Freedom in being transparent, and not just for others, but for ourselves as well. When we get to the point that we can share our deepest & darkest secrets freely and openly, we come to a major accomplishment in our walk, and it brings true Peace.
What are you risking if you don't find the Freedom you seek? Your health, your family, your reputation, your spiritual life just to name a few.
Sit down and list the things your sin can cost you just by keeping it bottled up & hidden. Count the cost. Then, do what you ought to do. Risk loving enough to be the one that uses this customized tool that GOD has allowed you to obtain, your testimony, to be the key that can help others get Free from their deep dark secrets and the bondage they remain in.
In this process you can also find Freedom from temptations you may not discuss, or even "hidden sin." The things you may engage in could be broken if only you'd be transparent in your own mission for Freedom.
Don’t let anyone steer you away from the very righteousness that GOD Almighty has called you to.
Dear Heavenly FATHER, I remember when I felt like such a coward. Thank YOU that YOU understood me and were ready to give me Grace to help whenever I need it. Thank YOU for granting me the Grace of Courage to recover, courage to Love, courage to Live and Courage to be open and honest to help others see that there is a way out of the darkness and confusion which envelopes them. Please continue to Strengthen me to move forward despite my fears and to never turn back until I experience all that YOU have promised. I Praise YOU, Glorify YOU and Pray to YOU in The Name of YOUR Son, YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST. Amen.
