nor anything secret

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Proverbs 3:27-34 Psalm 15:2-5 Luke 8:16-18

Luke 8:17  For nothing is hid that shall not be made manifest, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light.

The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we can hide what we do and think.  But the Bible says that we can't.  In fact the the Bible says that the truth shall set you free.  So it makes sense that in order to be in relationship with Christ, that is to be free, we must live the truth.  That means both good and bad.  The things that we want to hide we must confess, and the things that we need to know, the Spirit will make known.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to live the truth.  Help me to be honest in all me dealings and to seek the truth in all situations.

Amen
