All humans have secrets, and so does God. God’s secrets are hidden treasures that need to be discovered, treasured, and shared. In contrast, human secrets are hidden trashes that have been paid for and covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, on the cross, once and for all. God promised us, “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). He has already removed our sins as far as the east is from the west when He nailed them to the cross.

God also promised, “I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins” (Hebrews 8:12). We have died to our old lives, and our real lives are now hidden with Christ in God. Once, we were dead to the power of sin in our lives, but now we are alive to God through our resurrection life in Christ!

Philippians 1:6 says, “He who began a good work in you, will finish it to the end.” So, don’t beat yourself up! God is not finished with you yet. He, who began a good work in you, will carry it through to completion. For He is the Author and Finisher of your journey to faith, hope, and love. Your story isn’t over until His story becomes your story, and that is the greatest story yet to unfold for His glory!
