You know our secret thoughts (Psalm 44:21; GNT).
You know the hidden recesses of our heart (Psalm 44:21; TIB).
You know all my thoughts and feelings,
All I say, and all I do.
Everything that’s said to me, Redeemer God,
Is shared with you.
All that hurts, and all that harms me,
Yahweh God, you bear it too,
So, at last, within my darkness,
Shepherd, Saviour, I find you.
You’re the words I leave unspoken,
Fearful I will be despised.
You’re the light within my darkness:
Honesty, the pearl to prize.
Yahweh, help me face my fear,
And openly express my truth.
This, alone, will end my dread,
And heal the wounds of my abuse.
The Spirit is truth (1 John 5:6; NKJV).
Love should always make us tell the truth. Then we will grow in every way and be more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; CEV).
If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back (Matthew 18:15; NLT).
