You are being watched. Every word that you speak and even every thought that passes through your mind is known to God. There is nothing concealed from God. What does he see in your life? Reflect on this for a moment. Is there anything in you that would grieve him? On the day of judgement everything will be brought out into the open and we will have to face everything that we have done wrong. That will be a day of great shame for many. But it doesn’t have to be so for anyone. Jesus gives us the opportunity to do judgement now. We can bring all that is shameful in our lives to him now and Jesus will forgive us. He paid for our guilt, so when he forgives us there remains no more record of our sin. It is a wonderful amnesty that Jesus gives us. So when that day of judgement comes, though we will stand before the judgement seat like everyone else, we won’t be put to shame because it will be noted in ‘the book of life’ (Revelation 20:15) that we are exempt from condemnation because our guilt was dealt with by Jesus. Let everything be brought out into the light now. Don’t hide in darkness. Be open before Jesus, receive his forgiveness, and then go out and be open about Jesus so that others can receive what you have received.
Ask God to open your heart to him and to others.
Read Luke 12:1-12
